Our Class C has dually wheels. Hubby can get to them (with difficulty) to air up...but he has huge hands and there is cussing and spitting to get some air in our class c. I tried it (much smaller ha...

In my experience, the only ones that are a real pain are the outside ones with the stems pointing towards the BACK of the wheel pair.
That is a convention copied from tractor-trailers so that any wheel/tire can be used in any position......and one spare can be used for ALL of them.
On an RV that is ridiculous.
I have mine modified with a short, straight stem on the two outside tires.
That eliminates about 90% of the problem.
So, then you can not switch that wheel to the inside of a pair.
So what......BIG DEAL. I can't see a good reason that you would NEED to do that anytime.
K.I.S.S.
P.S. My "truck" tire shop thought that was an unusual request.
I told them "IF you can tell me any good reason that is NOT a good idea, then I will leave them alone."
They changed them out......and agreed it was a good idea for an RV.
P.S.S. Before that I tried valve stem "extensions" and they CAUSED tires to go flat twice before I threw them away.
