Title: What is this device in my engine bay?
Post by: TXU270 on May 25, 2015, 12:28:15 pm
Does anyone know what this is mounted in the left side of my engine bay?  As a new owner, I am still trying to figure things out!

Looks to me to be some kind of antennae.  TPMS possibly ?

As Gary said, it looks like a repeater for a tire pressure monitoring system, used to extend the range  of the transmitters to insure the towed vehicle stays connected to the display in the coach.

Thank you for the information.  Now I will search for any other parts of this system.  There are no valve stem sensors.  I do recall a device mounted under the left side of the dash panel. Not sure if that is connected with this or a type of auxiliary brake device.  I will post a photo of it.

Since your coach is only 36' long, the repeater was added for reception from the sensors on the towed vehicle.  It looks like the previous owner took all the sensors and the receiver.

If you don't need the repeater, I'd be interested in buying it from you.  On my 38' coach, occasionaly one of the rears fails to be heard, but only for a few minutes.
