  1. Just some tips for those still troubleshooting their TPMS connection if it doesn't work after following manual: 1. If you need the larger size TPMS, Nichols Manufacturing out of Phoenix makes an adapter kit. They are pricey, but they work! I first tried using some from NAPA, but they didn't fit my rim thickness. The Nichols Manufacturing ones worked perfectly. 2. If you are not able to get a signal using the air down method, buy the cheap tool on Amazon referenced in this thread. That worked for me, but only after completing the next steps: 3. I had to rotate each tire so that the valve stem faced forward. 4. And I had to back my truck up so that the rear was facing the trailer. I wasn't hooked up to the fifth wheel as we were staying in it. Didn't want to go through leveling, removing the tri-leg stand in the front etc. First, I tried pulling up next to the trailer but was facing opposite direction. Then it dawned on me that it may be directional. Not confirmed, but it only worked once I turned the truck around and backed up as close to the trailer as I could. You may have better results than me. I had another 5th wheel with this setup and it worked flawlessly using the air down method, but that trailer was 38 feet long. This one is 43 foot long.
  2. Thanks, Ron! I'm trying to visualize the setup in the bed. If you get a chance sometime, please do share a pic of that! Thanks so much!
  3. Thank you very much! My 5th wheel is about the same length so glad to know it will work.
  4. Looks great! When you hook it up to your truck again, can you snap a shot of how you handled it from front cap to bumper? Trying to visualize how that would work for turns.
  5. You can, but with a 5h wheel, the bumper connection is a bad location for turning. It was set up more for bumper pulls, apparently.
  6. Let us know how this goes. And if you get any pics, please share!
  7. Great info and thank you. That explains the large loop hanging underneath the 5th wheel I was seeing on the youtube videos. That could prove difficult. If only GM had gone wireless! Furrion makes it work.
  8. Great! Please do keep us informed! I have about a month until my next trip to figure this all out. Ha!
  9. So it seems there is very little info out there yet about how people are using the integrated rear camera. Anyone have experience with it pulling a fifth wheel? I have a 40' 5th wheel and I wonder how good the factory system is, difficulty installing, etc. I think I found that the 2019 camera works for the 2020 ( 84580657 ) but not 100% certain. can't find the 2020 part number reference yet.
