Title: TST TPMS Repeater Location
Post by: floridarandy on September 18, 2017, 05:42:12 pm
I see from Search several users with the TST TPMS are using the repeater (https://tsttruck.com/product/tst-507-repeater/) designed to make toad signal more easily read by monitor on the dash.  The repeater requires 12v and I'm curious if where those using this system have installed the repeater.  The only post I could find related to location was one installed in the engine bay.  I would assume a higher location might be preferable and, therefore, maybe in one of the bedroom overhead compartments.  Without the coach here yet I'm curious where 12v might be in this vicinity or if a better location might be available.

Thanks

Randy

You really should not need a repeater with a 34' coach.  Never need one on coaches including 38'.  This with the PressurePro.

I put mine above the doorway to the bedroom and powered it off the 12V tv feed. Worked perfect. Covered up the red light with a piece of cloth electrical tape.

Randy, TST makes the repeater as well as an antenna that replaces the little stubby one.  It is a T shaped ant as I recall and the wire can run up the inside of driver's side window trim.  That might be OK.  I added a repeater to our 36' at the back end of the LR on the driver's side.

My repeater is.located in the cabinet over the bed. I replaced.my backup.camera awhile ago and the 12v wires are accessible to tie into. The repeater.is only powered up.when the javelina is powered which is all the time I am driving.

We have the TST system with the repeater. I installed it above the hydraulic fluid reservoir on the driver's side in the engine compartment. I didn't want it transmitting all the time, so I tapped into the ignition feed in the remote start panel. Easy installation ....

I mounted ours in the engine compartment on the drivers side up high and powered from the battery isolator. We had Tire minder and it worked great.

Engine compartment for TST.  It is intermittently required on a 36 and if you put them on the towed.
