pretty much all the others are ok too.

I went with a system from TST
Truck System Technologies
I like it just fine. Seems to work, but I haven't had a real alarm situation to prove it.... knock on wood

I liked the look of the interface better, and the receiver display is nice and small. I was able to find a nice place to mount it on the dash.

I went with the flow through sensors with user replaceable batteries
I've second guessed taht a few times, and think that I might should have gone with the factory replaceable batteries for longer life. I have a feeling it will seem like I have to change the batteries often.... I haven't had it long enough to need that yet, but i figure it might be close by the time I use the coach next.

I have bought rigid valve extenders to get the inner rear transmitters more accessible, thinking that when i know I'm parking it for a while I'll just get into the habit of removing them all to extend the battery life....

My coach is 32 ft class C and I don't need a signal repeater, but I understand some of the longer RV's might especially if you include a toad's tires. This I think is true for all of them.

I also have the TST system. On my previous coach, I had the standard sensors. On my new coach, I have the flow-through sensors. One big issue with the flow-through sensors is that they stick out from the rim quite far. Not a problem on the rear tires, but on the front tires, they're way out there. I'm going to look to see if there is a 90 degree adapter so that the sensor doesn't stick out so far.

I do have one problem. The rear inside tires have valve extensions on them to make the valve accessible. However, it is the type of stem that does not allow a tire pressure gauge (or the remote sensors) to read the air pressure. I'm going to speak with a tire specialist to see what can be done.
