Hello, I’ve searched the forums for tyre valve extension but haven’t found the answer I need. The van is a Bailey 620 Approach (2012). I have fitted replacement wheel trims (after losing one and being unable to source a replacement) that now fitted leave only a small space for the tyre valve.
We’re going away tomorrow for a few days so was checking the tyres in the freezing cold. All tyres needed a bit of air but what a struggle I had getting first the tyre pressure gauge on the valve and then the Van Haus inflator. The angles were just too night to connect easily and sometimes, being partially connected, the tyre was losing air. I managed eventually with skinned knuckles and much cursing. So was thinking about fitting valve extensions so that checking pressures and fitting inflators would be easier. Are there ones to be recommended more than others and are there any downsides i.e. safety issues involved with fitting them? Thanks in advance.
