We have two really great options for monitoring 10 motorhome and trailer tire pressures with the part # TM56FR which comes with its own monitor or the # TM79FR which syncs to your smart phone and displays the pressures of all tires on your phone screen or with included display. These kits have signal boosters so that you can for sure get the reception needed for all tires to the display and was intended for setups like yours where there's a motorhome and a trailer as well to keep track of.

I really like the ability of the # TM79FR to show on your phone or with the display as that adds some flexibility to how you'd use it. The picture I attached shows what the included display looks like as well as what it would look like shown on your phone screen.

I have a 2007 Model Itasca Impulse Motorhome - 31' Class C. We tow a 2019 Chev Equinox. The Equinox has a built in tire monitoring system. Will the TM56FR work well with 6 sensors monitoring the RV and four monitoring the tow car? Will the existing system in the car interfere with this system? Where would you suggest installing signal booster? (Maybe in RV rear storage compartment?)

I reached out to TireMinder and he said there won't be any interference between the sensors for the TPMS Kit # TM56FR and the factory system on the Equinox - they actually get this question quite a bit and there's no issues at all. You'll just screw them over the Equinox valve stems like normal. As far as the signal booster, it's best to mount this under the RV's frame towards the rear.
