Do a search, this subject has been discussed many times;

I think the biggest issue of concern is how it was designed to operate. We all know they monitor pressures and temperatures, but the functionality of the display is what really will tie it all up as a decent product. I have had three systems in 10 years. Pressures were never the same as the hand held gauge with any of them, they were all off 1-3 PSI, was it the gauge or the TPMS? Who knows.... The Pressure Pro and EEZ Tire displays were simple and common sense was applied when designed, not so with Tire Minder. As an example the Tire minder we had whenever someone would walk in the coach and it picked up vibration it would turn on, the bright display looked like a light was turned on up front and worst of all it set off a loud chirp. Anyone sleeping up front wasn't sleeping anymore. Pressure Pro and EEZ tire have switches to shut them off while parked and no audible sounds unless there is a leak. Pressure Pro and EEZ tire can also be hard wired to the ignition circuit of the coach and came with cigarette lighter plugs or hard wire plugs. Tire Minder had many, many false readings, example when the tires got hot pressures and temperatures rise (who'd of thought??) when they would cool down I had 10 leaking tires, Seriously....10 leaking tire alarms. Its the basic functionality and design that I never thought about until awoken in the middle of the night or annoyed while setting up or unloading at home or getting fuel etc......

Wonder how much of those proceeds go to the programmers of GPS units 😂

Another interesting fact. For us to cross the GW in the coach with the toad its $68.00. For us to cross on I-84 is $11.00 😘

I run EEZ Tire without flow through sensors. Its a little over a year old and works perfectly. I also do not use a repeater and the toad works perfectly as well. Very happy with it.

That's the way I go to New England, I usually pick up I-287 off of I-78, nice scenic country drive, with the exception of Hartford CT, depending on the time of day that.s usually not an issue either.

She'll laugh, my DW has a good sense of humor

I have got to remember that

Bill, probably why I don't have a GPS in the coach! DW knows everything, I don't even need google anymore .

Great advice! To add; I-95 will cross this bridge, you will need to ignore your GPS, for some reason they are all programmed to send you over this bridge. Beyond the mess of entrances and exits every few feet the tolls are very expensive and its just a confusing mess to navigate not to mention it is in serious need of a new surface. Personally, I cross the Hudson on I-84 out in the country, my last trip over the Tappan Zee bridge wasn't very enjoyable.

That’s not a mess, try pulling the engine oil pan off a 13 liter Maxxforce and believing the dealer that it was empty . And before you think I’m nuts it was towed back partially disassembled and the dip stick was missing, but they swore it was empty and I didnt try and drain it first, believed them. Lessons learned at the school of hard knocks Floor creepers don’t move fast enough

DD, I believe they came along with the electric clutch technology, now we also have water pumps with clutches to speed them up and slow them down for MPG

I called MD out on this. They told me I must stop, hasn't happend yet, nor will it

Transynd was an option from Allison at the time the chassis was spec'd. Some manufactures spec'd them with it some did not. If it were me i'd have it changed out so you have a base line moving forward.

Glad to hear!

TD, thank you for sharing and I can understand your frustration. 2011 ANY coach is likely to be a headache, and to narrow it down most built between 2007 and 2016 would also be a concern of mine. When the economy flipped so did quality, not just with the coach builder finding ways to build them for less but the parts and materials suppliers also did. A few manufactures in those years were sourcing materials from over seas and adding labels to their interiors warning the occupants not to be exposed to these materials longer than 12 hours in a 24 hour period. Add one more layer Govt regulations on diesel emissions were gradually getting tighter while everyone was struggling to keep the lights on spending millions they didn't have to meet the govt mandates. I'm not making excuses for these manufactures what they did was terrible, but it wasn't just one manufacture, you will find that this was across all coaches until you step up into the custom high end lines in those years. You need to give this consideration when making your next purchase so you don't get deja vu next year talking about your 2014 Tiffin.

redeye2, do you have LED lighting inside? I have seen the Amazon LED's from China (all cheaper ones)will flicker when any pump is running, have heard people complain when they were deploying their jacks the interior looked like a disco.

Nice!!

WOW, beautiful! Any interior photos?

Nice site! One of our favorite areas to travel to.

Great photos guys!! I clean ours annually on my winter portion of maintenance before I put it away for the season. Garden sprayer and Simple Green Extreme Motorsports. Monaco left me two access holes between the stack to get up in there and soak it down. I have a side radiator so its not so bad, but I still get some crud that is drawn in from Campgrounds without paved roads. Our coach has an aggressive fan drive hydraulic system (pre computer and wax valve design) RV's require a lot of routine maintenance to keep them on the road (not to be confused with road side ) this is just one more piece of the puzzle, along with checking electrical connections that is probably not published in any manual and no shop will perform it without asking, and I'd bet that most will just blow compressed air in and call it a day .

The only complaints I have heard was trying to get the cable adjusted properly. It’s either too tight and over braking the Toad or too loose and not applying the brakes. When the cable seems right along comes a big hill and that goes about the window quickly. I considered one until I heard about the frequency of fussing with the cable adjustment.
