Valve extentions
Need valve extentions and wondering if ridged or braded on the inside rear would be best. Need to check and air without the trouble.

You can do it on the Cheap. Steel valves with air through caps. Carry your own "truck" air gauge and air chuck (the "straight" style) or depend on those who have them. For me, it's RVing, supposed to be easy and fun. I wanted a setup that anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyplace could service our tires.
Me, too. I used plastic extenders for the first several years, with no problem except one that didn't close after checking pressures. Luckily I had a spare extender with me.
With new tires, I got Costco to use their slightly longer rubber valve stems, left the darn wheel covers off and use the straight on gauge for the inner wheels and a similar air hose end. I keep ordinary valve caps on them, removing for every pressure check using a bit of plastic tubing on a pencil. I estimate 6 minutes to check the 6 wheels. No leaks.
