Installed the repeater and no more issues....except the sun and I've ordered the sunshade as well. The lady at TST that I talked to said she didn't have a problem with seeing it but they mounted it on the "driver door window" of their motorhome and it was in out of the sun or something. That wouldn't work for me.
I installed the repeater in the 5th's storage bay. At first I stuck the velcro on the interior of the forward wall. But, the wall has a fuzzy covering and didn't stick very well. I ended up sticking it on a horizontal 2 X 2 steel beam. I was concerned about it having to transmit around the beam but TST said no issue. I didn't notice when the tire locations quit flashing. It was pouring rain like I hadn't seen in a long time.
