Valve Extender Recommendation for 2015 Thor Chateau 26A

Updated 04/16/2019 | Published 04/15/2019

Question:

I have a 2015 Thor Chateau 26A motorhome on a Ford E-350 chassis. I am looking at 2 different valve extenders, the 2 are part#WM8009 or Wm80294. My only concern is the flexible part seizing up and being unable to check or fill the tire. The other straight extender I am concerned about vibration over time causing a crack and leaking. I like the 80092 due to the feature of no air being in the extender unless it is being filled or checked. Which is the better option ?

I'd go with the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit # WM8009 as it's an airless design like you mentioned which means the air pressure of the tires is not in the extenders unless you are inflating or deflating them. These do not have a reputation for seizing up either so you wouldn't need to worry about that either.
