Drive on flat outside dually tire to repair shop?
I have a flat outside dually tire, passenger side. Broken valve stem, no air. Should I drive 2.2 miles to repair shop or do I need a better idea?

You can drive a limited distance on a single PROPERLY INFLATED single tire on a dual tire setup at reduced speed. 45 mph with your emergency flashers on is acceptable...
I like that answer best. Early in the day (cooler pavement) even better.
While you're at it, get Quality Valves like BORG DUALLY VALVES and put them across the rears. You can get by with "Bolt-In" Metal Stems on fronts at minimal cost. Some valve kits include "air through caps" and others don't. With that upgrade, you can check six tires as fast as you can walk from one to the next. AND, they seal so well that you will have to air up less frequently. When you do, ANY Gauge, ANY Chuck will work. The Borg kit and equally good Chuck's kit will serve you the life of the coach. I like Borg because I found it first, it works for me, they expedited a new valve when I damaged one no fault of theirs, and you might find a set quickly at a nearby Camping World.
