tire valve extenders? November 14, 2013, 01:43:49 pm Yahoo Message Number: 143615Hello, I'm new to the forum. We have a 2014 24' TK on order. This will be our second motorhome. I must admit, there were a LOT of things we didn't know when we got the first one. I'm hoping to hold onto this one for a long time, so I'm trying to learn more.I've been reading about how important it is to check the inner dualie tires, and how difficult it can be. My question is: Will Lazy Daze install valve extenders if you ask them? What do most of you do with your rigs?Thanks in advance, skeats

I guess the clock is starting to tick loudly as time passes.Your TK should come with metal valve extenders already on it. According to Andy's pocket guide (http://www.andybaird.com/travels/LD-guide-web/changes.htm#2000) the mother ship started installing them in 2007. They were already on the RV, a 07 Mid Bath, that we purchased used. With the factory setup it is not that difficult to check the pressure but not as easy as compared to checking with the metal valves like those sold by the Tire Man and Borg.I do not know if the factory will add the metal valves.

There's a good explanation of the differences between extenders and long valve stems in the Lazy Daze Companion. Long stems are much better.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels
