Ideal for longer RVs, 5th wheels, and toy haulers, a TPMS sensor with extended range helps keep a solid connection from sensors to the display. Pair with a repeater/booster mounted on the trailer or even on the tow vehicle when the trailer has no battery, and you can monitor pressures and temps without constant manual checks for easier, worry-free travel.
Yes. Install fresh sensor batteries, then program and pair the system before mounting everything. Verify the booster is powered and mounted securely before driving. If storing for a while, removing external sensors can help preserve their battery life. If you prefer theft resistance or sealed installs, compatible systems can use internal sensors with batteries that last at least 5 years.
Yes, extended range setups rely on a booster for proper operation. Mount it where it has a clear path to the sensors—front trailer compartment, engine bay, or near the rear of the RV can work well. If your trailer has no battery, mount the booster on the truck bed or frame and verify power. Plan mounting ahead since some boosters have a short power lead.
Use metal, bolt-in valve stems for high PSI and durability. They're available for 0.453 and 0.625 hole sizes and can handle up to 200 PSI, and they work well with TPMS sensors. If you use valve stem extenders on duals, check for leaks—inner tires are a common trouble spot. Install sensors on metal stems and recheck pressure after installation.
Place the booster close to the sensors and a solid power source. Engine bay mounting works well on motorhomes and vans, and a front compartment is common on 5th wheels. On tow setups without a trailer battery, mount it on the truck bed or frame for a strong signal. Confirm the booster has power after installation.
