tire pressure and valve stem issues
Thanks for the advice in advance. I have a two parter although somewhat related. 1. I recall reading somewhere a long time ago that my recommended tire pressure on my 25ft class C is 80 per tire....

Only a scales can tell you for sure what to air the tires to. I went to a CAT scale at a truck stop the first time, what a surprise that was... Since then I've had it weighed at one of the escapees smart weigh sites. We're better now.
There should be a label near the pilot's door specifying the tire pressures for front, rear and spare.
If you don't already have them, I recommend the valve extenders, which are steel braided lines that look like brake lines and give you easy access, especially to the inside pairs.
I had the braided extenders until one had the rubber inside fail and I could not fill or check pressure any more. I went to Borg stainless steel extenders and have had good luck with those. Kind of depends on which you prefer I think.
