How to Set Up Your TPMS for RVs: A Step-by-Step Guide

Master Technician Bart Taylor teams up with Adam Peterson from Truck System Technologies to demonstrate how simple it is to set up your new Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on your RV. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the setup process, ensuring your vehicle is ready for safe travels.

Steps to Set Up Your TPMS on an RV

Follow these straightforward steps to complete the TPMS installation for your RV and tow vehicle:

1. Prepare the Monitor
2. Remove the screen protector from the monitor. Turn on the monitor.
3. Initial Setup
4. Press and hold the SET button until the monitor beeps. Once it beeps, press the PLUS button five (5) times. Press and release the SET button.
5. Building the Tire Sequence
6. You’re now ready to configure the tires for both the tow vehicle and the trailer. Orientation: The bottom row represents your driver's side tires, while the top row represents your passenger side tires. Navigate between tires using the PLUS button.
7. Configuring the Tow Vehicle and Trailer
8. The first rectangle on the monitor represents your tow vehicle, and the rear rectangle corresponds to the trailer. Choose a tire to configure (you can select either inside or outside tires; in this demonstration, we use the inside tire).
9. Reading the Tire Code
10. Position the monitor close to the tire sidewall, ensuring it is 180 degrees from the valve stem. Press GO to have the monitor pick up the tire code. Once the code is captured, press SET to save and lock in the values.
11. Repeat for All Tires
12. Move through each tire using the PLUS button, repeating the above steps. Don’t forget to program all tires, including the spare.
13. Finalizing the Setup
14. After all tires are programmed, press the BACK button twice (2 times) to return to the home screen. A helpful tip: Think of the monitor like your vehicle mirrors—driver’s side tires should be on the bottom and passenger side tires on the top for easy reference during programming.

Checking Your Setup

Once the monitor is programmed, the home view will display all tires along with their corresponding temperature and pressure readings. This comprehensive view will help you monitor your RV's tire health effectively.

By following this guide, you can easily set up your TPMS for your RV, enhancing your safety and driving experience. For further assistance, feel free to reach out to the experts or consult your TPMS manual. Happy travels!
