To worry about spending $200 on solid metal custom formed valve stems installed on a $50K motorhome seems illogical. A tire failure, 500 miles from home, with damage to the underside of the rig and possible loss of control with injury to your loved ones and others on the road can spoil your trip or your life. Adding a cheap extension to original rubber valve stem can lead to sudden air loss with above consequences. It may not seem fair that chassis and motorhome manufacturers do not install solid metal stems but that is what it is!!
