I have the Tire Minder A1As.  I believe that it will do 23 tires total.  You can assign trailers and "disconnect" and "reconnect" as you need them.  You see all tire pressures on one screen at one time (no scrolling).  Same for temps at one touch of the button.  It alerts for over temp, over pressure, under pressure, slow or fast leak.  I'm happy with it.

It does up to 22 tires and has all the features you mention.

I have a Tire Minder also and it will also go up to 22 tires. Mine works in conjunction with
a smart phone. It came with the coach and also a pressure pro came with it but all the sensor batteries
were dead and with that system I would need to buy all new sensors as the batteries in the
Pressure pro aren't changeable.

Ernie,
I switched from Tire Minder to TST and I am glad I did.

TST for us too. I am slowly switching to cap sensors from flow through sensors. TST just came out with a glare shade, works well.

Ernie, we like our TST system and it can cover all 12 plus some!  Gives us the temps as well as the air in the tires!  Hope this helps.
Many have and use this system!

Another vote for TST, with flow thru sensors.

I was going to stay quiet about sensors but since it's been brought up I'll put my two cents in.
1. #1 source for tire leaks for me has been sensors. Screw on external caps
2. Flow threw makes sense but I don't like the idea of being external, screwed on, more weight on the stem.
3. Loss of secondary sealing
      A. Carry spare sealing orings
      B. Recommend installing tight with supplied wrenches and lock nuts
      C. Have someone show you how to program location and display position
              Note, separate rear axle to near the end on the tow vehicle display. Looks more normal
4. Internal sensors batteries are not changeable and you must replace sensor every 5-10 years.
      A. Would be my first choice
      B. Would retain secondary sealing
      C. Cost too much
      D. More difficult to install but proven to work better in everyday operation

Pressure Pro Pulse, that it, the only one. . .

And it may be the only TPMS to report pressure & changes while stationary.

Read the instructions, it goes to sleep when no motion is detected. It fooled me because it showed pressure the next morning and I thought it was my actual pressure. You have to push the middle button and the right button and hold until it zero's out then it will give the new pressures after it reads the sensors again.

Sounds reasonable.  When I get to my camp spot, I turn the monitor off.  Fire it back up to check pressures or before I leave.  I've never left it on overnight or when not driving as it's battery powered/rechargeable, so I didn't want it just sitting on, running the battery down, while not being used.

When you fire it back up it is showing the last pressures before the coach stopped. Check the numbers next time then reset it and see what the current pressures are. I turn mine off when I park also.

I usually leave our TST on overnight if we are on the road or turn it on a couple days before we leave if we have been somewhere for a while.  TST works whether wheels are turning or not. I want to know if I have a low tire before it is time to leave.

The TST has the advantage of not having to reset the  Tire Minder when you are getting ready to leave. The Tire Minders advantage points are it goes to sleep while you are driving so as not to have you keep looking at it. It wakes up if there is a problem. Also Tire Minder advantage is $5.00 to get a full set of batteries and o rings once a year. The negative on my Tire Minder is the high and low pressures are not programable you set the cold temp pressure and it uses a percentage for the low and high warnings and the TST lets you set the high and low pressures and the high temp that you want. Other than the color monitor option for the TST they are very much the same.

I have been using TST since it first came out.  Started with Pickup and travel trailer and moved it to the Foretravel and TOAD last year.  Started when TST had non changeable batteries. Now using sensors with changeable batteries.  It is a great system and has saved me many times.

Pressure Pro sensors never sleep. They transmit psi every quite often and if psi drops suddenly, it instantly transmits, which is also an instant warning if someone unscrews a sensor to steal it.

We are now stopped in a campground for many months. Dash monitor is always on and when I think about it a couple of time a week, I look at monitor to see current psi on both axles. Also nice to know about slow leaks long before we are ready to drive.

I am not aware of any other TPMS that can offer the above features.

My TST does just as Barry described.  I let some air out of the rear tires yesterday and it went off when i removed the sensors.  Ours is on almost all the time.  A slow leak or fast change will set the alarms. You can set high and low pressures and temps. It will go for a day or more on batteries but it normally is just plugged into a USB charge port.

They all have one feature or another that is nice. The main point is to have one to let you know if something is changing so you can do something before it is a bigger problem.

Roger, glad to hear that TST TPMS does not go to sleep, only to be waken by tire rotation. Good news. Thanks, Barry

 I dont have a lot of spare cash . race car, race car etc.
 This seems to work well and saved my but this past trip. I had a leaky stem gasket on the outer rear and this system showed  it as well as audible. . 
  Gunna have to check my gauge to the system . Normally I set my gauge to my Chevy truck system . I have about a 5 psi delta at 85#.

 I have the "Crossfire " on the duals I share the concern over the cap seals , but I check the pressures every roll.
