Well maybe I should have used a better head line then "assume" my bad..

I usually always check the tires, but this time around was thinking uhm NOT thinking about them and was doing all the other pre-check stuff and you know how it goes I'll do it after I do this and then start on something else..

When I replaced the tires I had them install the solid valve stems , BUT I went the cheap route and bought solid valve stem extenders NOT the Tire Man ones ! now I wished I would have gotten...
Two of the valve stems its like watching the grass grow to get any air in them... :(
But the other three tires were within a lb or two where I put them last October..

I have a suspicion its the extender leaking ?? I'm going to put some soapy water on it and see if there is any bubbles...
I read the reviews on the ones I got and all comments were great ,, outstanding blah blah blah ...

I'm going to go ahead and order the Tire Man valve stems and have them installed before we really get out for longer trips...
Unfortunately I can't get them here in time for this weekend .

Still taking it to the tire shop today and see if they can see whats up...
I'll post up findings.

When I first got the MH I put the extenders on and had a leak in one. After having this problem I tighten all of them and put soapy water around them for the first year to check for leaks. Never had another leak in 10 years. I don't have a TPMS but I check them like I check my tow car. On a trip I check with an IR gun when I stop at rest areas or for gas. I lose very little air as I said in my first post.
