I've also found another highly rated one, the EEZTire system. It can be purchased with 10 sending units, so the toad is monitored as well.
Now I just need to decide which one. The main thing is to have one. I would think that in this day and age, RV manufacturers would include this because of the safety issues. The almighty dollar strikes again.
BTW, you're getting awfully close to that next chapter in your life! That's gotta be exciting!

Kent,
I have the 300 or 400c, cant remember, and its been great until i added the booster. Now it seems the booster has or is blocking the signal. This didnt happen to tire minder when they checked the system Tire minder offered to upgrade me to the tm77 for $100 which i might do but im leary about the booster and the problem im having. Ill also have to upgrade 3 sensors for more money. I dont know what to do. Experiment with the booster is first tgen decide on uograde.

Jerry,
For 100 bucks, I think I'd jump on the TM-77 -- especially if your current sensors would work with it. It seems that there have been quite a few software and feature upgrades that make it tempting...and safer than what you have (like checking status every few seconds and sending you an audible alert).
The EEZTire that I've been looking at evidently has an excellent range -- I think 53ft. Many of the reviewers say it's even further than that (with fresh batteries, I'm sure).
But back to the TM-77...
I know it's on sale now at Camping World online for $379 with 6 sensors. That makes the $100 seem pretty fair. It would be interesting to know if they're offering you just the main unit or or a set with sensors...
Good luck,
Kent

Kent,
Its just for the main unit. Like i said if i do the upgrade i would have to replace 3 sensors also. He dudbt give me a price on the sensors. He just said he would give me a good price.

Wow nice. I have been looking for something that will work without wi-fi. I can download movies to my iPad and watch without wi-if in my coach. Off to Best Buy for me.

Hate to break some hearts, doesn't work w/ Apple products... Shocker. However airplay doesn't need wifi either, so apple TV should work.

Yeah, but i didn't realize that apple play didn't need wifi. I will check this out in the rig in a couple weeks, I have one at the house already. Might be great option for apple users.

I don't have Apple TV or I would try airplay... I have used HDMI from a MacBook Pro or an iPad to play movies on the TV's in our Axis. It's not wireless, but it'll do for now.

I have Apple tv in the house but I mostly use it to watch Netflix movies so I assumed it needed wi-fi. Maybe it doesn't need wi-fi for airplay. If it doesn't need wi-fi that would be great I will put it in the new coach.

I bought a cheapo wifi hub for the coach, and I have various devices plugged into TVs that can all stream from the iTunes library on a Mac Mini. Doesn't have to be connected to the internet. $30 for the hub.
