3 RV's with valve extenders and none leaked. Tighten a little more than finger tight. Make sure they are installed so they don't flop around when on the road. Using non-flexible stems to match your needs helps. Using flow through caps makes it easy checking and adding air, even on the inside duals.
The flow through was recommended to me recently because they provide a seal that serves as a second seal which I feel is needed. A question on flow through extenders, is a valve cap recommended to protect the extender from the elements? Leaving it off provides convenience but safety comes first.
