Anyway, sounds like your tire is probably fine. You caught it and took care of it before any damage was done (good job!) I'd also say that the place that sold, installed the new tires probably is not at fault here - your valve extension is. JMO, but next thing I'd do is dump those extensions. If you must use extensions, only use ones that are 'airless'. Meaning, there is no air pressure in them except when you put a gauge or air hose on it. Even better would be dually valves. Thats what I use, and would highly recommend.
Politetly disagree----The tire shop is responsible for installing new and/or checking all valve stems and extensions, mounting tires, correctly torqueing all lug nuts and finally checking all tires and stems for any air leakage before the RV leaves the tire shop.
Agreed, but what evidence is there, that the valve stem extension was loose when it left the tire shop?
I have personally experienced one of those extensions being tight when heading out, but getting knocked loose by road debris when on the road. It CAN happen, and does. Seems unlikely tire shop would have left it loose, but who knows.
Anyway, its all a moot point, as the matter has been taken care of, and the dealer is agreeing to make sure there is no damage, which is great.
