- An Inexpensive TPMS That Works? Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Today I review B-Qtech Tire Pressure Monitoring System. This is the TPMS that I chose for our motorhome since it is small, and inexpensive. It has worked really well for me, and it has saved us multiple times when our tires were low on pressure. It displays the temperature and PSI with the click on a button.

Consider that this system essentially adds a small wheel weight to the wheel which could be a minor problem but that additional wheel weight is now at the end of your RUBBER valve stem! It is easy to find youtubers who have tried these and ran into tire pressure failures due to leaky valve stems. Change to metal valve stems and you will not see this problem.
Hello! Yes, only use these on metal valve stems. ua-cam.com/users/shorts1yuQ_WzvRV8?feature=share
I like this unit as well. I have an old 1995 that didn't come with this creature comfort and was pleased to find your review on this helpful and worth the price!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I am so happy I was able to help you find this incredible TPMS.
How is the communication distance? Any issues with them dropping out going down the road?
I have had no issues with this system at all. Thanks!
Hi Chris, awesome video. I'm getting ready for a cross country trip in our travel trailer and will be buying one of these for sure. I'm also buying new tires, since mine are about 7 years old. One thing I was told, is when I get new tires installed, is to insure that I have metal tire valve stems installed if I'm going to use a TPMS kit. I hear that if you put them on rubber valve stems, they can actually cause the valve stem to break from the force of the wheel turning at high speeds down the highway. What's your thought on this? Again, great video!!
So glad you enjoyed my video! Thank you! That trip sounds incredible! So glad you are having such a wonderful trip. I firmly believe in TPMS systems, and metal valve stems. I have heard horror stories about rubber valve stems tearing themselves apart from the rotation, so I say metal. I did a short video on RV tires as well if you want to give that one a watch. Another tip is if you are getting brand new tires, get a lug check by 500 miles of the new tires being installed. There is a short video about this one my channel as well. I hope you have a wonderful trip, and please stay safe. I hope this helps in some way for you. Thanks again
Hello! Just wanted to let you know I uploaded a UA-cam Short Video with a little more information. I hope you enjoy it, and please share with people you feel it may help. Thanks! Answering TPMS Viewer Questions #shorts

@@christravels360 Thanks, Chris! Great info!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video - I’ve been shopping for an inexpensive TPMS which actually works! Question : how does it work to fill air with the sensors on the valve stems? Do you have to use the tool to take them off in order to add air?
Thanks for asking! This TPMS system uses valve cap sensors. You need to remove them to fill the tires. The tool is there if you decide to use the anti theft system, but I didn't use it. It is basically a nut that tightens against the TPMS sensor. Hope this helps!
I was shocked to find mine didn’t come with tpms so I actually bought the same unit. Why did you need a shop to install it? How much did they charge? Thanks
Hello, I didn't need the shop to install my TPMS. I was having an issue from the shop who installed my tires. They didn't tighten the lugs all the way and it caused a horrible shaking and grinding issue, and we brought this motorhome to 2 different shops! I was told everything from my steering system to my driveshaft was breaking. I had the shop who actually fixed my issue, which was the loose lugs, install my TPMS since they already had the tires off.
@@christravels360 Thanks
Wait! 🤔 Did you need a shop to install it for you?
No. When I had my motorhome’s tires serviced, I had them install it for me.
I have a system like this and my concern is that I have observed people on you tube claiming that with rubber valve stems the sensors weight on the valve stems via centrifugal force causes premature valve stem failure and left them on the side of the road
I have rubber valve stems so I am removing mine
SO… do I want ongoing knowledge when I drive and have valve stem wear…or do run bare so as not have valve stem failure
To solve the problem I guess might be better
Hello, glancing over the owner’s manual. they recommend replacing rubber valve stems for metal valve stems for this reason. My RV had metal valve stems, so I didn’t need to change them.
This unit only has two digits so won’t do higher tire pressures like 110 like many large RV have.
Hello, The unit I have has 3 digits. Also, the range is up to 199 PSI. I hope this helps.
Down to $79 now
Incredible value! Thanks for letting us know!
Amazon reviews are not very good.
My unit is still working great, and I have had it for about a year now.
@@christravels360 Hello, do you have metal or rubber valves? Thanks.
@javiermartinez9355 I have metal valve stems on my RV. Thanks
