Many thanks to Stephen Birtles for providing the "deal" that "forced"
me to do the safe thing and install the Pressure Pro tire monitoring
system.
Stephen, I hope your ears weren't burning last night as I was
exploring my vocabulary of expletives. I am sure there had to be a
better way to install the sending units on the outside duals and tag,
but I sure couldn't figure it out.
Seems that the transducers are larger than the clearance around the
valve stem of the inward facing valves. After "persuading" the valve
stem to shift some, I was able to force the transducers past the valve
stem and, when not falling to the ground between the wheels,
eventually, holding my mouth just right, get them screwed onto the
valve stem.
My only concern now, is what do I do when on the road and needing to
top up air? Sitting in front of my house, although messy, lying on my
back reaching to find the dropped transducer is one thing, plus the
10-15 minutes per outside wheel of "fiddling", on the road is another.
I am sure someone here has figured out a better or easier way to do
this without having to add extensions (another source of leaks).
I am leaving on a 2000 mile trip tomorrow, so should have plenty of
opportunity to see if it all works as designed.
Again, many thanks Stephen, in spite of the apparent problem, I feel
better for having installed this than going without and I think it is
still a better solution than breaking down all the tires to install
the transducers onto the wheel internally, as the "other" system requires.

Paul,
I have not received mine yet but I am drooling. Anyway, I am
hoping to just use my extenders that are already on my inside duals.
Are you saying that you had to take the extenders off?

Al,
I do not use extenders which is the reason I had problems fitting the
transducers in the space available.

Most folks have problems with the inside dual stems being too short. For safety
reasons you are advised not to use valve extenders. You may want to check out
the 10" stems for the inside dual and the short stems for the outside dual
offered by Borg Equipment & Supply. www dot borgtiresupply dot com. I installed
the stems on my coach yesterday and now await delivery of my Pressure Pro
System. I have no financial interest in Borg Supply.

Tom, why do the valve stems point in? I have a heck of a time checking
pressure on my coach.

Howard What is wrong with the extensions on you inside wheel. I run
the extensions with the rubber stabilizer on the outer wheel. It has been
working for me I then put the pressure pro on it. I got the stabilizers off my
tire guy. He is a Blue Bird owner too.

Howard,
What's involved in installing valve stems? Is this something
that can be done by the casual "shade tree mechanic".

I went to a tire shop and had them turn the valve stems out so it is
easy access for the Pressure Pro caps. Works great.

David,
If you can handle getting the tires off the coach breaking the bead and back on
the coach and torqued properly then you should be able to handle it. Installing
the stems in the rim is a piece of cake. Handling the heavy tires is another
story. I did not try to do it due to back trouble and not having the proper
tools. A local truck shop did it for $ 20.00 per tire = $80.00 well spent.
Waiting on Pressor Pro.

Thaks Howard,
It's the breaking the bead and sealing the bead part that
stumps me. I pretty much knew that this was required,
but thought I'd ask to see if you found an easier way.
