valve stem extenders

[Brownleaf]

I have a 2004 24' minnie winnie. I have read alot and viewed alot on youtube about extenders. I have rubber valve stems now. Several people have complained about places that will replace the original short rubber stems with the long metal ones. Can someone give me a specific reference to a brand and place to buy an extension that would not be too heavy for my present rubber valve stems. Thanks Doug

Why they would complain about getting better quality metal valve stems is beyond me. the rubber ones are not made for the higher pressures.

Another wives tale.
I mean rubber valve stems may not be big pressure. And are common in lower pressure apps. But whether a valve stem has a metal barrel or not is not necessarily indicative of its rating.

not really a wife's tale its right in the product literature. the standard rubber is rated for applications up to 60 PSI, I am sure they will be fine at 80 as there has to be a safety factor built in but there is pretty much no extra work/cost for them to install a metal one

Dually VALVES
designed specific for the wheels you have.

These are the best ones I have found.
Valve stem extenders
You would need to get the best angle for your particular installation locations.
Most are available on Amazon.

Any tire shop should be happy to install the metal ones for $$$$$$.

The last thing you want to do is put those flexible extenders on your rubber valve stems. They have a tendency to leak and if they get loose from the anchoring point they can flop around and not only do damage to your wheel but suddenly deflate the tire causing a catastrophic loss. I can speak from experience,this happened with my old Class A.

What is needed is a extended valve stem that will let you quickly check your tire pressure. They add no extra weight like the Extenders would and balancing is no problem, TPMS works on them as well

Something like the Duallyvalve I have a set like them and I never have to take my simulators off to check the air pressure.

Just find a tire shop that does heavy duty trucks,I know I had no problem finding one to install mine.Just google truck tire service in your area I am sure many will come up.

They complained about finding places that would install them. Doug
