I have had two really good experiences with service from RV supply companies, the Fantastic Fan company and now the company that makes TireTraker. TireTraker TPMS (http://www.tiretraker.com/)
A sensor failed in my TireTraker after about 6 months of ownership. I called the 800 number listed on the net, got the recording (naturally!) and left a message. Surprise - got a reply from the boss within minutes. His only question, other than what the problem was and my name and address, was, "From whom did you buy it?" Since I bought it from his company, I was in their computer base and he said he would send a new sensor First class mail with a pre-paid return envelope for the defective sensor. No charge.
That that was what happened - I had the new sensor within a week. In my opinion, that is excellent warranty service. I might add that no "repeater" was necessary for this 40-foot coach.
Gosh, I didn't know that these were available. I went on line and read about them and find the concept spot on. I guess that you like them and would like your experiences with same. I have had to buy tires on my previous motorhomes due to I believe tire pressure issues. Could you expand a little on the tire pressure sensors/tiretraker? Thanks
Howdy Charles,
I too, bought and installed the Tire Traker system in January of 2011. I bought eleven sensors (have one on the Jeep spare tire) and the hard-wired booster. Everything has worked great!! I purchased from a dealer in the big tent out in Quartzsite.
The reasons I choose the TireTraker; less initial cost, end user replaceable batteries in the sensors, smaller footprint for the display, smaller tire sensor. With a sensor on the Jeep spare, I have a known good spare if I have a problem with any of the others.
I bought mine from: Lawrence RV Accessories Inc (http://www.lawrencerv.com/) Darryl Lawerence is a great guy, and very customer friendly. I had one sensor failure and he sent a replacement quickly. Darryl only handles two great products (I have both). I have no connection to Darryl, other than a very satisfied customer..I haven't had any leaks. (knock on wood!!)
FWIW, Dave Abel
Thanks Dave,
I think I am going to go for it as it certainly makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for the feedback!
I too have a Tire Traker system that's been in use for about 4000 miles. I purchased for the same reasons as Dave and it has worked as advertised. No complaints so far. It notified me of low pressure in one of the towed tires that had picked up a screw in the tread. Fortunately, it was not a blowout but a relatively slow leak.
I like the 3 year warrenty. I will buy one on the next few months...
