Cool Outside Rear Tire Valve Extension

Hi
Having a real difficult time with one of my rear outside dual tire All tires are new & I put long steel extenders on the rear inside tires with a rubber stabilizer,these work great
On both outside rear tires I installed a 90 degree steal extension & these allow me to easily check the pressure & add air to all tires
My problem is one 90 degree extension is leaking air & I,m trying to come up with a better solution with these 2 outside rear tires
I'm well aware of the Dually Air Valves & that's great for the inside tires but even with that system you still need to go with the short 90 degree extensions on the outside tire,in fact I purchased my extensions from Bill at Dually Tire
I just received a TPMS which I plan to install as soon as I get this issue resolved with the short extensions
Went so far as buying an Porter Cable air compressor which I plan on having in my MH at all times
Just hoping someone knows or has experience with the outside rear tire air valve,without the 90 degree extensions I will not be able to install the sensors on these tires
Great Site & I Appreciate Any Advice
Want to hit the road
Thanks

I had my inside tire valve extenders installed by my dealer. They are braided stainless steel and come out to a "L'' shaped bracket that is screwed into the center of the tire axle wheel cap. The hose goes through a circle on the bracket and has a nut holding it in place. Easy to access and if I did have a TPMS system they would screw right on the end without issue. A little steep with the labor costs but it was well worth it. Hasn't leaked or came loose in over 11K miles.

I have the factory setup that fleetwood puts on and it has worked great. I did run into a problem when installing my tpms. When I screwed on the sensors, they didn't depress the valve core far enough to allow air to flow to the sensor. This was on the long extensions for the inner duals. All the others worked fine. Actually it was only one if i remember right. I took the core out and inspected it compared to the other one and couldn't see a difference. Turns out the bend in the long extension to get through the outer wheel was a biit sharper than the other inner dually and it effectively shortened the core. I ordered another set from fleetwood and the new set must have been just a hair longer and it worked. Just a heads up for when you go to install your new system.
