I have used the Eez TPMS for three years with no issues on my 29RS.
The current four wheel system is model: TPMS-4, priced at $259.
I like that the monitor only needs a plug in recharge about once per year.
Sensor button batteries were replaced once, without removing from valve stems.
It's a good system.

I have 2 tire sensor systems laying under my desk in my office, because I thought I would save money and not buy the TST setup that I used to have on my motor home.
The first one I bought was the Bellacorp it was the cheapest and had good reviews. That one was totally useless. Once you set it up the sensors always read the same pressure, even if you took the sensor off the tire. That system never worked, so I bought the TireMinder. The TireMinder worked OK but one sensor was always losing touch with the monitor. I had 6 sensors and only needed 4, but one position was always a problem. I wasn't going to fool around with the 3 that worked, but I could never get all 4 to work on a consistent basis. I had ordered a new improved TireMinder repeater from amazon, but I sent it back, because I didn't want to through good money after bad.
I gave up and bought the TST with the color monitor and cap sensors. Don't get the flow through sensors unless you have metal valve stems.Mal & Helen

Thank you for all your replies. I took delivery and it was smooth but I know I missed things. Too much to learn all at once. I've been practicing hitching unhitching backing and backing while turning (very ugly). Have lost sleep but yesterday went better than the time before.
Our 1st trip the 2nd week of June and looking forward to it.

Congratulations! You certainly decided to jump right into the deep end! We bought our first 5er last year, but Nikki and I are lifelong campers and worked our way up from bed rolls to renting and then the gambit of campers graduating along the way, if you will. This forum is a great resource and you will find campers tend to be a helpful, friendly bunch. Good luck and happy camping! Oh, and everything about it gets easier with practice and experience!

Good for you taking the plunge to purchase a 5th wheel!
Don't fret the small stuff, every person on here started with something and learned along the way. I'm a firm believer in there is no better teacher than experience and you won't get that in it's truest form unless you own one. Just practice as much as you can, trying this or that, the info here will be a huge help in that department and then go find an empty parking lot to practice your towing/backing maneuvers. A little practice can really help when you get to that first campsite.
Looking forward to reading about your trips and experiences!2019 Reflection 367BHS with a few mods

From all you have done so far I think you got this with no issues. Your going to have many years of enjoyment.
After I retired from my real job I decided to drive a tractor trailer for a while , about 1 year and a half. What any driver will tell you about backing is this. Always know you will have good days and bad days backing. I have backed trucks up in places I was told I couldn't fit. The next day couldn't back in a place with 20 yards open on both sides of me. You do get better with time , but you will always have good days and bad days backing. Do not worry about people waiting or watching you. They don't have a dog in your fight.
Do what you have to do taking your time and being careful. Everyone around you, and yourself will thank you for it.Jim T.
