I received my unit when flying home for a week to attend a grandson's graduation in early June.(Ordered in January, shipped in May) After returning to our MH in Minnesota I installed them. After reprogramming the warning pressures and one wrong address they all came up reading pressures and temperatures after about an hour or so. Removing one made the unit beep and flash for that tire just like it is supposed to. Noticed that the sensors on the toad would drop out which prompted me to try various locations for the antenna. Finally found one location that seemed to have the least number of dropouts was on top of the rear view mirror in the center of the windshield. So far, all seem to work like they are supposed to except for some pressure variations between sensors. Reprogrammed and moved a couple to a different tire and checking with a good tire gauge found that there is about 1 to 3 pound variance in readings. Should not be a problem in monitoring pressures for indications of gross changes - like losing air or a flat.

So far, I am well satisfied.

So I did, lets see if I get a tracking number.

We got to uses our TPMS for the first real trip and it was so neat to be able to look down at the SAF-TTE monitor. While not on MH's I did see two vehicles with a low tire driving in front of us today. The number of RV's was not like I expected.

Just checked the UPS tracking # I got yesterday from Todd, no such # on record with UPS. Called again and was told that was the correct # and they will check today with UPS and find out what the problem is. I will call back later today and report on results.

Just checked again with UPS tracking and now it does show that # on the UPS site so I assume it will be shipped today and will arrive by the middle of next week. I feel a lot more confident now then I did this morning.

Called today to check status on my order (6/13). The guy I spoke with said that the shipment they received last had bad electronics, and that they were expecting another shipment Thurs/Fri...

If I recall, at one point the shipments were being delayed while the distributor tested each and every unit shipped. It now seems apparent they have to do this, because a lot of the units don't work as they are shipped by the factory. Perhaps the manufacturer should raise the price a bit and put the extra revenue towards producing a better quality product.

Well-- they never replied to my cancellation request, just like they never responded to other emails or phone calls. So I asked AMEX to handle it and they credited my account. Just too much aggravation in dealing with them and the reports of all these defective components , I'll stay away form them ... this is my last post about these guys -- it's getting old

They have been checking each and every component of the system when they received it from the manufacturer. They were trying to insure a reliable product and to give good value for the dollar to the customer. The complete last shipment of monitors failed testing, and had to be returned. The new monitors were set to allow changing the tire pressures to different settings on each axle if needed. This has once again caused turmoil, as they are out of stock to sell.
