He suggested on the tire pressure extenders, just finger tight, and then 1/2 turn more to secure. It was alot easier with wheel off the RV. He also used a torque wrench in tightening the wheel lug nuts. Wow, a mechanic that actually uses an old fashioned torque wrench.
All holding 82 PSI.. Ready for my adventures next week in Huntington Beach, SC.

Never ever more than finger snug the extensions. Over tightening compresses the gasket just like the guy did with the valve stem.
