How Do I Remove My Hubcaps on My Motorhome in Order to Inflate My Tires?
Question:
Hi there, I guess this is the cap my motorhome tires have. As I cannot find valve stems on the rear tires, do I need to take the cap off first? Then I am wondering if I need to use wrench or some tool, or can I just use my hands to remove it? If you could answer, that would be mostly appreciated. Thank you so much

As far as finding the air valves for your motorhome tires, from the looks of your tires, you will need to remove the hub. In order to do this, it is best to use a flat-head screwdriver to pry off the cover between the cover the rim itself. The hubs simply pop off (there are no bolts that are holding them on).
For making your life easier by not having to remove the cap every time you need to inflate your tires, I linked a product page of our available valve stem extenders like the Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders - Straight # WM80294. These extenders will be able to fit through the holes on the cap so you can have easy access for inflation.
