This is a follow-up to my original post. When I had the RV tires checked, I had the technician remove the extension completely from the inner wheel, and had him place it on the OUTSIDE when he re-mounted the tires. It has now been 4 full days since he did that, and the tire is still holding at 80 pounds. Proves to me that the extension was definitely the culprit. I am now trying to figure out which choice to make regarding Borg, Tire Man or simply leaving off any kind of extension and using a truck-type gauge and air chuck.
The old tires I had removed prior to buying my new tires also had the braided extensions and I had no trouble with them. I think it is mainly a matter of finding a "happy medium" when screwing the extensions on. As mentioned before, too tight means loss of air pressure, too loose means you cannot check pressure or inflate. Not a good choice either way.
