TST TPMS 507 repeater location.

[johndeerefarmer]

Hello everyone
I just purchased the TST TPMS 507 that requires the installation of a repeater. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on where I should install the repeater? It calls for DC power. They suggest as far from the tow vehicle as possible, so directly to the battery is out. Also I am concerned on constant draw on the battery when not in use.
Thanks
Mark

Mine is attached to the top side of the hitch with velcro. I have it wired into the 4" junction box that's mounted in the pin box. I also used a 2 pin plug so I can disconnect it when I am not camping to avoid battery drain

Easiest - look between your wingset where you will find the umbilical junction box. You have ground, constant 12V, or could wire it to parking lights if you don't want parasitic draw when not in motion all right in the junction box. Then just mount the module to the junction box lid. Eaay connections, well protected,, and good location between sensors and receiver. Done.

I like that idea!

I installed the repeater under the truck frame near the rear bumper using 12v from my 7 pin connection.

Same here. I can't keep track of all the stuff I need to do to hook & unhook the trailer already. By hooking it to the 7-pin, the truck turns it on and off automatically.

Here it is on the back of the receiver hitch.



And here's how the antenna sticks out underneath - just a little.

Agreed. Plus the ability to use the $400 monitor and repeater for other trailer 507 sensors made it a easy choice.

I did mine up front, but bought a waterproof, plastic hobby box and a weatherproof connector for bringing the 12V into it. I also added a weatherproof, switch. This is mounted on the streetside of the trailer on the inside part of the front landing gear assembly.....

Plenty of options!!
Thank you all

Anyone familiar with the EZZ Tire TPMS system? First time out with ours worked good for about 30 minutes and then started reading only 3 tires and then maybe 2 and then a couple of times nothing. Just beeps with no display of pressure or temps. Stop check the tires on the trailer and everything looks good.
Start back down the road works for maybe 15 minutes and same thing all over again. Called company said I might need a booster will send it to you for a free 30day trial and if it works it will cost 50 bucks. So, drove from New Mexico to Florida this way with a product that cost all most 400 dollars that doesn't work. Anyone have similar issues . Shouldn't have to drive this way with a product that doesn't work.

It does mention on the information page:

"Booster/repeater can be added to the TPMS system to overcome electromagnetic interference and distance challenges."

You may have a long enough unit to warrant the booster. Seems they are giving you the option to see if the booster will solve your problem. When I bought the TST system, it didn't come with a repeater, so I didn't buy one. Mine does occasionally drop a tire, usually one of the rear trailer tires. So some people need the booster and some don't.
