TPMS camera interference

I am wanting to upgrade my coach TPMS setup. Giving thought to the TST 507 10 sensor. However, I have read several online reviews that state that if you are also running Furrion wireless cameras you may have issues with cameras failing to work. As I have Furrion Vision S cameras, I dont want to buy this and then find out I have an issue.

Has anyone here using TST and also using Furrion seen any issues? IF so, if not, what Furrion setup do you have.

Thanks for any feedback.

I would ask both Furrion and TST.  If TST interferes with the cameras you should be able to return it.  You may just need the repeater which as I recall comes with the TST kit.  We have mostly flow through sensors on the coach and caps on the toad and are switching to all caps as they wear out on the coach.  It doesn't always work very well to check pressure through the flow through sensors or to add air (very slow).  I usually just take them off to manually check pressure or adjust it. Caps work fine fine for that.  They used to be cheaper but doesn't appear so anymore.

We air up to the max in October, let some out for the current temp when we leave (4° this year) and then some more as we get to winter warm.

Roger, thanks for some feedback.

I have contacted both earlier week, neither has responded yet. I was planning to do all caps, as I have seen mixed opinions on the flow through. The system I have on it now is a cheap system my wife got free from amazon vine, is ok however at times is not very accurate and is only a 6 sensor system. Better than nothing and holds pressure very well except when temps outside take a drastic swing down then like any other tire in the world will drop, but that's physics not the sensors.

Yes, the TST 507 comes with everything including a repeater. And yes no doubt could return if faulty, was just curios to see if this was a wide spread problem amongst those that have used it more than most, or is it or just a random.

TST has cap sensors with non-renewable batteries that are supposed to be good for 4 years, I think they will replace them if they don't.  The one's with replacable batteries seem to last about 6 years changing batteries once a year.  If they don't get sealed backup and get water in them they get corrosion inside.  I haven't tried the non-renewable ones.  Some of my flow-through sensors are 7 yrs old. 

My system came with a monochrome screen. I later got a color display.  The color display is nice but I think the monochrome one was easier to read in some light conditions.  Nothing is perfect. What the pressures are exactly at any point in time is interesting.  What you get these for is the warning when you have a slow leak or a rapid leak so you can do something sooner than too late.

 I have yet to see a spec sheet for the 10 sensor system, but according to TST's website the 8 sensor cap kit says they are replaceable. I definately want a system with replaceable batteries.

I would tend to agree many screens are more easily read an mono. I still love my old Garmin street pilot, but I only use on a motorcycle anymore.
Oh agree on the purpose of the tpms more for that uh oh instead of constant monitoring, but when you happen to look down and 1 of your tires has gone from 100 down to 75 then a minute or two later back to 100, that ruffles you hair and makes you stop to inspect things.
