How do we set this up on multiple trailers? Once we pair the senders to the receiver on trailer 1, can we just add senders/receivers and pair them on trailer 2? I'm hoping the senders are tied to the receiver and not specifically the truck.

From what I have read, you can setup sensors for multiple trailers but you cannot move a sensor from one to the other, each trailer needs to have it's own sensors or you would need to recalibrate them every time you move them.
So I’m asking if we can leave both the senders in the tires and the receiver on each trailer and if the truck will just look for the hardwired receiver and use data from it as opposed to having to change anything. That’s my read on it and I hope that works. I have ordered a second setup for my other trailer. Hopefully it doesn’t take 4 months like my first set did.

Yes, that is correct. There is an menu in the truck to select a trailer, you can have several trailers setup and give them names to make it easy. It will not automatically recognize which trailer you have connected though. You will need to select the trailer on the menu using the buttons on the steering wheel.
Below is a picture of the camera, the box that it came in with the mount, and the TPMS sensor turned over so you can see the part number. The TPMS sensors are part number HC3J1A515ACSUB7
Anyone argue the lack of two sensors yet and won? I will for sure when mine comes in considering I’m looking at a triple axle trailer.
My sales man told me to let him know what was missing from the kit and he would get it ordered for me. I only ordered the Trailer TMPS system not the camera. The box I received was the hybrid box that had the 2017-2019 harness but the addendum instructions saying to plug it into the bumper and the yaw sensor into the bed. I have not contacted my sales man yet, for three reasons, 1 I was waiting to see if Ford was going to ship a 2020 harness, 2. they owe me a scratch repair and I'm not sure the guy that does those repairs is working, and 3. the sales office has been closed because of the virus anyway. Now that 2020 harnesses appear to be showing up I'm think I may send him an email with the missing 2 sensor part numbers and the 2020 harness part number and ask him to get those for me.

Sounds like a good plan. Plugging two cables in would be a pain and just asking for trouble. One of them would get snagged on something for sure.

Fantastic! Thanks a million! Now if I can just find somebody that has one...
I have everything installed and running now, rear camera is mounted at the rear of the boat trailer, has to be low so I modified the mount so that the camera can be horizontal, the mount as it comes only allows 20 or 40 degrees down angle. So drilled some new holes so it could be level.
installed the TPMS receiver at the front of the trailer, it is about 30 feet from the rear of the two axles. I didn’t want it to be submerged, so it had to go up front. Had the tire guys install the sensors in the 4 trailer tires today. They have a tool to train the sensors, but there was no way to set it up to work with the trailer sensors, it asks for make and model of the vehicle, we tried Ford Superduty but that didn’t work. So we did it the manual way, bleeding air out of each tire as it asked for it, took a while, started at 80 psi each tire finished at about 55, but one by one they connected. All seems to work great, the only thing I would say is the harness is long enough to go around the truck before it gets to the trailer, so a big coil of wire wire tied at the front of the trailer.
set up the backup trailer assist as well, quite a package of towing stuff once it is all done. Look forward to when I can finally tow the boat up from Florida to Connecticut.

I Don't think that the camera is waterproof. Will you remove it when you launch the boat?
I have the YAW sensor for my fifth wheel and the camera package. The truck was ordered with a Fifth wheel prep and the ultimate camera package. I do not have the TPMS sensor kit. I was able to take apart the YAW sensor wiring harness and combine it with my camera wiring harness to have both in the same harness. I will attach some pictures with explanations.The most time-consuming part is un-taping the wiring harness. This is the YAW sensor harness truck end plug. Notice there are 4 pins. Only 2 of them go to the trailer end. The other 2 dead end about 12” into the harness. This is the truck end plug of the camera harness. Notice the full row of pins. The row above that has 1 pin. The 2 holes to the left of that are where the YAW sensor pins go. These are the dead end wires in the YAW harness.
First carefully pry these tabs and open the plastic case around the plug. Next pry open the tab on one part of this piece and cut the tie wrap on the other part.
Next carefully push in here and slide out the part you are pushing in on. There is one of these on both sides. It’s a bit tricky but keep at it.
This is what it looks like when it comes out. This piece is in where the pins poke out through and plug in to the truck. One this piece is out the pins will be unlocked. You will be able to pull out the wires and pins from the other end.
This is the back side of the YAW sensor plug. Once you complete the prior step the 2 wires you need will pull right out with the pins attached. Make sure to note which color wire comes out of which hole.
Do all these same steps with the camera harness. Instead of removing wires and pins put the YAW sensor pins in the appropriate holes. Run the wires in the loom, tape it all up and voila, a combined harness.
I will try and answer any questions.
Thanks CFDFireman90. I was able to combine the 2019 Camera, TPMS kit harness with the 2020 yaw sensor harness.
I went back and looked for where I had read that, but didn’t find it. Maybe I imagined it. I filled the plug with dielectric grease, I guess we will see what happens. On a boat trailer you don’t have much choice.
