New RV with TPMS. Sensors were installed over 4 weeks ago, and no problems until last week. We have been getting an alert (10 beeps and red light blinking) every couple of hours on the inside alert. No alerts on the One Control. Charged the unit, readings are still coming in and are within range. Camper is stationary at a seasonal site. Only moved once for service. Called Lippert and they had me re-connect to repeater. Still happening. Anyone else have this happen or know what is setting it off? Nothing in troubleshooting to help with this.

When mine does this is usually the temperature fall or the threshold for pressure is too high. Others have had similar issues.

TIre LINC is the standard? I have to order or ask the dealership to order. I'm watching a YouTube video relating to this TPMS and the author states that the only way to purchase is through Grand Design. Grand Design will ship to the dealership.

I found this on the web/LiPPERT at a cost 2x what it was a year ago. Do you guys order or did you have to go through a dealership?

Came with the new camper as an option that was included with the package we purchased. The repeater base and wiring was installed and box with stems and alert monitor was in camper.

I suppose when putting the trailer away in storage for the winter, it would be best to remove the sensor caps? Especially in a very cold northern climate, otherwise the batteries in the sensor won't last.
 
I get these annoying beeps a lot too. While driving, it seems to happen often when one of the sensor loses a signal and I can see it grayed out on the phone app. It seems to be the one farthest from the repeater (rear left). I usually just give it a few minutes and check my app again. I'm going to make sure to change batteries often to keep signal strong.

The standalone unit does beep a lot if it's parked and we're moving the trailer or walking inside. We usually unplug it in that case so it doesn't keep beeping. Then it only alerts when you press the button.

I'm not sure that you can change the min/max settings on the standalone unit but I have changed them in the phone app. I've been meaning to call them to ask. At this point, I'm OK with false alarms rather than no alarms at all. The TPMS just alerted us to a flat tire yesterday 33psi and we pulled over and found a bolt in the tire. I'm about to post a question about that now since it's my first tire issue.
 
New ‘22 3100RD came prewired for LINC TPMS so I bought and installed it. Set up went okay and app showed pressures on our first trip. In between trips I remove the battery and the unit is stored without shore power. Second trip the app no longer showed the sensors being connected. Had to perform the entire sensor connection procedure before third trip. This is a major inconvenience IMO. Anyone else having this problem?

This happens to me also when trailer stays in one spot. I think it’s because the sensors stop reporting when the tires are not rotating. Only happens on the tire alert indicator. Grand Design sent me a new one & it has pens on it too.

That’s interesting because we are also waiting for a replacement indicator. Guessing it won’t be fixing the problem?

Ours would go off at random times for no apparent reason. Would stop and check the pressures and temps and all would be ok. Would also go off occasionally after being parked for a few days.
Fixed the issue by not charging the alert indicator and leaving it in the garage when we go on a trip.

So without the alert indicator you are strictly relying on the app?

Yes. The indicator had proven completely unreliable. After numerous false alerts, we have no faith in it. With the app it gives you the psi reading on each tire. As long as I see the psi reading vary a little bit while driving, I'm content it is communicating with the sensors (sometimes it stops).
It has alerted me twice to a low pressure reading before leaving a campsite.
Do not allow your android phone to go to 'sleep' while running tire-linc, causes communication problems. Not sure with iPhones.
It gives a temp reading as well, but not sure a bearing heating up would affect the temp at the tip of the valve stem that much?

Our 2019 337RLS didn't come with any type of TPMS so I'm considering getting these in the link below. Anyone else using that brand? Thoughts? I would like to get the one with 10 sensors so I could also monitor the spare tires on both the RV and the truck.

We are looking at buying the same one. Can't give you any first hand experience, but it looks good and is a reputable tpms brand.
We have the included tire-linc on our trailer but it has not impressed me yet. If tire-linc software gets updated and begins to work as intended, I'll keep it. Other wise we will replace next year.
 
same issue, beeps for 10 secs when all readings are within alarm parameters. We are so close to throwing it in the ocean. I assumed you needed the repeater to have the whole system work? If not the case I will let the battery die and just rely on the app.
 
I didn't buy the monitor. I just want to see tire pressure and temp with the app. Sounds like the monitor would have been a waist of money.
 
My wife and I have the same system and the same issue. We have started to treat the beeps as a reminder to check the app.:)
