TPMS in Magnitude RB34

[wjshaw]

I have a Magnitude RB34 Super C. I'm installing a TST 507 TPMS. I need to install the repeater because I also want to monitor the tires on my car hauler. I assume somewhere under the bed in the back bedroom is the best place for it; however, I have no clue what I should connect it to under there. Has anyone installed the repeater on theirs and if so, where did you connect it? Doesn't have to be the TST 507, just any TPMS with a repeater. I'm just curious about the location to install for power.

Thanks!

All it needs is a source of 12V DC. The amperage required is nil. Some install it underneath and wire it to the clearance lights. So you will have to look for a DC source somewhere and tap into it.

Thank you for the information! I'll check out the clearance lights. I assume they run all the time when the motorhome is on, but don't run when it's off, right? That sounds like a really good solution.

The clearance lights are only powered when the headlights or so-called "parking lights" are turned on.

In that case, that's not an option because I need power all the time, no matter if the headlights are on or not.

The clearance lights on my new Axis operate all of the time that the engine is running, parking or road lights notwithstanding.

I powered my TM77 repeater off the 12VDC input lug on the generator. I installed a switch in the gen compartment to power on or off the repeater. I then attached the repeater to the hitch under the coach. No problems at all.
