I always check and fill the rear dually tires while they are off the rv.
I want 95 psi or 100 for extra safety and varying load.
Front are 110 and done easily.
i do not have valve extensions. even the back external tire is not accessible since the stem is short.
I only now realize that maybe the pressure will increase once the tires are back in, and pushed with the rv weight.
Am I right that the pressure will increase, how much should i put to get the proper result pressure

I can easily check them all, just have to unscrew the sensors.
Rarely do though, the tst system checks them every 7 seconds or so...

Most tire failures give warning before they occur if you regularly check them out.
Many truckers carry a pipe or a mallet to strike each tire at the beginning of each shift. The familiar "thunk" tells you a lot, and, it's fast and easy.

Do yourself a favor...order a set of these for YOUR specific model coach and have a truck tire shop install them for you. You won't regret it.
My coach had the braided extenders on it when I bought it. First trip....we blew a tire due to tire age and due to the extender leaking. Replaced all the tires, put new braided extenders and without fail, before every trip I had to add air because one of them was leaking. I replaced the valve stems with the ones linked above and for the past year and a half, I have not had to add air but once before a trip and that was because I didn't get the pressure gauge pushed on properly and let too much air out before I could check it.
And for the record.....I ALWAYS check the pressures in the morning when cold on travel day. I would suggest that everyone does as well, but that's individual preference I guess.

I check the pressures once a year, before a longer trip. I will do it this evening. it allows me to check the disk and brakes pads at the same time.
From year to year, I can say that it does not change much. i have to add air every 2 years
I am thinking about extenders, maybe next year. I am getting older
You should be checking your tire pressure every few days when on the road and before every trip. I usually never have to add air either. But one time while camping at Vegas and getting ready to hit the road for the 500 mile drive home, I checked the tire pressure and found one of my inside dual tires with 30 psi. Only way I found that was by checking the pressure, the other tire was holding the weight up and you couldn't tell the inside was low. Put air in the tire and took it to a nearby tire shop and there was a nail in the tire. Had I not checked the pressure I would have driven 500 miles like that. Or more likely, I would have drive 100 miles like that then had a blow out in the middle of the Mojave desert.
Truck drivers check their tires every day.
Maintaining pressure in your tires is the best thing you can do for them. Stuff does happen on the road, so knowing things are as good as you can make them, helps maintain peace of mind, and the tires last much longer. Maintaining tire pressure is much easier than changing a tire, or waiting for road service to come and help.
