valve stem points inside on rear dual tires?
I purchased a 98 Four Winds Class C in December and it has been parked since I brought it home. The snow is about gone so I wanted to check the air in the tires; but the valve stem on the rear outsi...

YES. I believe the "straight" 
offers advantages since it's a straight (or very close to straight) shot from the Inner Valve, out through the "hand" holes. I know this because it takes VERY little bending to get an inner tire DuallyValve to line up with those little holes and the rubber support provided in the kit.
And, I still want the valves to be metal, since you're pushing the gauge or air chuck onto the valve "from afar" and can't support the rubber valve with your hand.
The "threads" on the airless cap you pictured are NOT actually threads! You can get a plastic cap to fit onto them, but a metal extender won't screw onto them. So why there? So a clip-on air chuck
can lock onto the cap.
Some of us use a piece of hose to remove a plastic cap, then screw an extender on. Reverse the process after adding air. As I said before, Good for Them. I've got enough other issues going on, to make a project out of tire checking.
You "could" use metal stems, airless caps, straight-on dual foot gauge, and make up a straight dual foot inflator extension. One that you'd put the service lane's air chuck onto. That's if theirs won't work for you. Again, I don't want those complications.
