At the campground all set up on the holiday weekend. Sitting back having a relaxing cup of coffee and I hear "psssssss"... what can it be?? I listen "psssssss" OMG its a flat!!!!My fancy valve extensions tore out the valve stem on the inside rear.. I was faced with a tire change on my vacation...but wait I have Good Sam...one phone call to the GS people..they asked some easy questions...they seemed concerned.. said help was on the way be there 60 to 90 minutes...yeah I heard that before..but what the heck I have nothing to do for three more days so I'll wait...like anyone is gong to show at 11:00 am on the fourth of July.. At 11:07 am I hear air brakes....I see the campground manager escorting a big truck....DON'S TIRE SERVICE, FULTON, NY...OMG they did show!!! in 67 minutes. In 15 minutes these guys had my rig jacked, tire off and changed. Very curtious and polite..no hassels.. Thank you Good Sam and the guys at DON's Tire...

Gotta love it when people do what they say. Even if the reason they are doing it sucks!
Question, did you put the extensions back on or will you replace them with brass or ss longer valves?

Had to use our Progressive road service on Sunday evening around 8:30 on our way home. We had a flat. They said about an hour. In 45 Minutes a truck showed up and in about 30 minutes we were back on the road.

At least you were parked and caught it-- would have likely been a blow out if you were dirving and who knows what damage might have occurred. Look to replace the extensions with solid valve stems ( Borg is one that's out there ) ..... I had an extenstion go bad, but I was driving. Thankfully no damage to the MH, but ruined a 1 year old tire-- I immediately trashed the extensions and installed longer valve stems
