Question:

Getting ready to install this system. Truck is a 2019 Sierra 2500. RV is a 30’ fifth wheel. Do I have to install the signal booster? Just does not seem far from truck to second trailer axle.

It is recommended to install the signal booster that is included with the TST TPMS for RV part # TST-507-RV-4-C. This does help when used with longer trailers yes but its main purpose is to improve the quality of the signal even if not being used over a long distance. The signal booster only has two wires so it's easy to install and it only draws milliamps of power so you don't have to worry about it draining the battery. For your 5th wheel, I recommend you install it in the house battery bay underneath the overhang
