Skip valve "extenders". Spend the $ once and switch to Dually Valve STEMS. I use Borg - guess Camping World now carries them - I got mine direct.

Now I can use my TST TPMS without trouble, tires are easy to air up if needed. Spare and front wheels just got regular metal stems from the shop. Money well spent in my opinion! ST
Very well stated! Our RV is on Ford, but we have BORG, got them from a truck enthusiast shop, had the four custom and three standard valves installed (and wheels balanced) for about $100. This IS the way to go. I can check all our tires in minutes and find they don't need air for months.
I needed a replacement BORG valve (after I damaged it dropping a dismounted wheel) and Bill shipped it cross country overnight. I mention this because if a local CW doesn't have your kit, one can still be in your hands in very short order.
