Thor freedom elite dually tire valve

I can't figure out how to inflate my inner tire on the dually tires. It has a strange slotted cylinder where I expected the valve to be. Can anyone tell me what this is and how I'm supposed to inflate or check the air pressure?

When I had a Jayco on the same chassis like yours, I had to remove the hubcap to see the other valve. It was a real pain in the butt. I was going to move the other one but didn't get around to it. I put on TPMS so I could keep track of the pressures. My new one came with valve extensions

My 2022 thor freedom elite has TPMS but I still don't know how to inflate with that thingy. I also has to remove the hubcaps to get to it.

That looks like a lock pin of some sort. How about another picture showing more of the area... move back a little?

That’s is not the valve stem. You should have a 90degree stem for the outside tire. And then the inner tire should have an extension from a braided line. This is what my freedom elite looks like.

You can see the pin the OP referenced in the bottom of this pic... I believe that is the alignment pin when installing the outer wheel.

Its sometimes difficult to locate, but it's just a mirror image of the one on the inner dually. It's sticking out of the backside of the outer dually.

You were right! That was some sort of locking pin. I found the valve buried on the opposite side. I'm filling the tires now. Thanks!
