Tire pressure monitor system

Hoping to pick up our new to us 03 U320, 3820 soon and would like some input regarding TPMS's.  Is anyone using the TireStat system?  Comments on this and other systems would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I recommend that you search the forum for "TPMS," "Pressure Pro," "TST," or similar phrases.

I like the concept of TPMS, but have not had good experience in the implementation on my RV and towed vehicle. Other folk use TPMS and are very pleased.

I tried TPMS and no longer use it. I bought a TST for our SOB (SomeOtherBrand) coach four years ago. After two long trips, I took it off. Our current coach had Pressure Pro on it when we bought it. I took it off after a tire on the towed vehicle flatted twice while parked, and a new tire on the coach flatted while parked at MOT. My experience was not good. In four instances, TPMS caused our tires to lose pressure from stem grommet and sensor seal issues. Also, some of the TST devices quit operating properly at low temperatures.
