New 2014 siesta sprinter
I am working thru many fixes that keep me from traveling. But one thing has me puzzled. How do you check the air pressure on the tires when you can't get to them? My dealer will install extended valves on the tires, but it will cost for the stems and over a $100 an hour to install. My book says nothing about where to locate stems, just that I need to check air in tires. Anyone have the same problem with a siesta sprinter?

Stop by a tire store they can and more than likely put the exrensions on at a resonable rate. All they do is scrw onto the existing stem

I don't think these will fit my Mercedes sprinter. On my outside tires I think the stems have to be curved as they are on the inside of the tire. They may fit the inside tire as that one is a straight out stem. Will look into it more, thanks for the info.

You can see how it is fits on my Sprinter rear tires:

Picture wasn't attached in previous one. I attached it again and had to crop it.

What kind of holder did you use to keep in place and are the stems steel? Thanks

You can see holder on the picture. On Amazon Valve Extensions go with different kind of holder.

Thank you for sharing the pictures, I have finally given up and taken my loss on a 4 month old motorhome (20,000 loss) and will trade for a class A at twice the price and 100 times the quality, different brand. I put 3000 miles on it and 4 trips. Dealer had it more than I did, not their fault, just a problem build. I only had one more thing to fix, but I am not taking any more chances on future problems. Good luck

Sorry to hear about your troubles with Thor!! It's a shame you had to take a loss on your rig, but I think in the long run you'll be much happier. I too am contemplating getting out from under my lemon!
Good luck!!
