I've tried all that my dealer has and none will work.

I use 135 degrees "Wheel Master" valve extenders on my outside rear tires. Fit perfect! Should be able to get most places.Click image for larger version

Ditto on 135 degree wheel master. Just installed them and got them off of Amazon.

The problem is that the air will not push thru two valves very well

My dealer installed extenders on the rear valves (they should be standard equipment - are you listening FR?). The 135s they're referring to above wouldn't work for me as I have a tire pressure monitoring system with sensors that are large and fit on the end of the valves.

I use TST TPM and I use 180 degree extenders. They work pretty good.

I had the same problem with my 2011 Georgetown 327. I used the 135 degree extender then added another straight one to bring it out beyond the hubcap. I have no problems filling the tire using a clip-on connector that locks to the valve stem.

I agree with a few others I've talked to and read here on the Forum- Forest River should provide as original equipment valve extenders for the rear tires so us end users can actually check air pressure and add air when needed without having to remove the wheel cover. It shouldn't be that big of a deal or that costly to install the proper length valve stems on tires at the factory. Hope someone at the factory reads this!!

I had a local tire shop install Dully valve chrome valve stems instead of putting extenders on and introducing a point of failure. The kit comes with four stems and then I also bought the fronts.

This requires the tires to be removed and remounted balanced. I did it so I could add TST pass thru tire pressure monitors.

Borg equipment sells the valves. The chrome kit of four is about $110. Not cheap. Turns out my truck tire guy had an entire assortment of brass ones on hand.

Also the cost of the dismounting valve insert, mount and balance of six tires was $210. So if you are serious about monitoring your tire pressure and temp with a remote it's not cheap. I spent almost as much on the valves and mounting as I did on the TST monitor. For those on a budget, I'd suggest adding the longer valves just so you can add air (without having to remove the fave wheel covers) and use a cheap digital tire gauge manually.

One last note. While I was at the tire place getting this done, another Rv came in to have his tires rotated. The tire guy asked him, How long have you been driving on that inside rear FLAT tire? The Rv owner didn't even know he had the inner flat!

I stopped in at Camping World the other day and noticed they have valve extensions (I think they were about $15 or $20).
