valve stem points inside on rear dual tires?

good discussion, here.

help me see what i am missing. wouldn't a short stem on all wheels and a straight shoe chuck w/ a 45 angle shoe (for outer 2 duallys) be best system?

I ended up talking with Bill also. I had several other numbers on his business cards and he told me to write that one down too.

Told me he stands behind the kits he sells, parts and installation. Also mentioned he will provide replacement soft parts (the seals under the nuts/washers) on request for a few dollars.

When I bought our valves, Six Robblees' price was far less than the suggested retail on the packaging. Then they stated raising prices. I fear I may have contributed to that. Told many OP's here to look the model number up on the Borg site, then call 6R and place a phone order. 6R had "internet sales" but the DuallyValves weren't on it and there was no link to/from Borg. Anyhow, the more RV.net OP's ordered valves, the higher the price went...

We won't have trouble with Borg valves. The thing I like about Camping World carrying them is that they'll be visible to RVers, sold at a decent price (by RV standards...) and hopefully our community will have less problems with checking tires, and from leaking tires.

I can't pick out the phone number. Call it and see who answers.

Its Bill from Tire supply 818-612-7080, he confirmed the ones at Camping world are the same ones that he sells on line for $120 and from his order desk said that he didn't mind that they were cheaper there,even said to use a coupon if I had it. He supports Camping world!

I was at my Camping World and looked at them,they look kind of cheaply made.
I guess you get what you pay for,like the other rip off types.

They are made in CHINA.Note the Part #




Glad I got the Made in The USA Tire Man valve stems.

This ought to be a sticky on its own. Every new owner has a problem checking tire pressure. Cheap extenders on rubber valve stems can be dangerous. Some have no tire failures using cheap extenders. Spending $200-$300 on solid metal custom formed valve stems is a one time expense on a $60K+ RV and can prevent costly damage to tires, underside of RV and possible loss of control.

I paid a lot more for mine 6 months ago on the internet. I put new Michelins on my Coach House E-450 Ford and Discount tire installed the new solid stems for nothing, and they were balanced when all was done. I have put about 2000 miles on them and they are great, so very much easer to check the air because they are solid to put air hose and check the pressure. the rubber donut that fits into outside rim stabilizes the inside duel valve stem. Next I plan on putting a pressure/temp system on all my Motor home and Towd so I can have live readings on all my Tires.

I went with the Borg dually kit instead. Borg is very nice to communicate with and knowledgeable. Also has more info about their kits on the web site.

If you have a local tire shop you deal with, usually they can order and install the Borg or Tireman kits. Dick

We have Borg Dually Valves HERE
Great fit, durability, customer service.
Many have been fortunate to find parts that work at truck tire shops and some have found shops that will customize stock valves to fit RV needs. Some have home-brew rigs to get caps off, gauge on, air in, etc. Good for them, but the point is that good valves solve the air checking problems. And, they prevent slow leaks as well as catastrophic failures. Think of this:

1. BEST is a custom one piece heavy duty brass or steel valve

2. Extenders are OK if they're Braided Cover AND Airless, connected to METAL valves

3. NEVER put ANY extension/adapter/extender on RUBBER Valves

4. Replace Rubber with Metal (any kind!) at first opportunity

5. Class C's and probably everything American with 16, 16.5 or 19" wheels have .453" valve holes. Big truck wheels have .625" holes, so that reduces some of our choices when we go to truck stops and HD tire dealers.

Thing I like about our Borg Valves is that I can check and inflate anywhere. Bicycle pump, convenience store, interstate truck stop, doesn't matter. I carry a dual-footed gauge like shown above, but I can check just as easily with a free Discount/America's Tire gauge.

OH! Also added "Air Through" valve caps. Those rascals keep dirt out, provide a secondary air seal, and no unscrewing. Just push the gauge or air chuck onto them. They go by Gator, Crocodile, V2B. Available Amazon, NAPA...

I can check six tires in as many minutes and find that they still don't need air after months. We have Bridgestone R250's from Discount Tire. Between those tires, Discount's mounting, and the Borg Valves, adding air is about a twice-yearly process. Mostly when the seasons change and affect tire pressure. Drudgery became Pleasure.

X 2 I also have Borg extenders, they are great.
