Perhaps someone here has had a tire changed or a dash light and can verify that the tires do indeed have the TPMS.
Thanks
Since the RV is built on a cutaway Ford chassis and the manual covers more than the cutaway it is unlikely that your unit has the upgraded Ford Message Center which includes oil change and TPMS. The way to determine that is to perform a system check at the message center and watch what displays on the dash area. The system check will tell you if the tire pressure is ok and the oil life if those features are included. If they do not display during the system check then the features are not installed.

As a note, the tire pressure system is not a true TPMS. I have that on all my Ford vehicles and it does not tell you if tires are overheating, you can not set specific pressures to run and it is subject to incorrect readings based on outside temperature. It is good for what it does on a car but I wouldn't trust my life to it on an RV.
