Easy Instalation

I am giving one star beacause the system has not been installed at this point. I have a Class A Motor Home with dual rear wheels. My problem is that I can't get to the tire air valves in order to screw on the sensors. On the front wheels, the air valve lines up with the hub cap hole, but is too short to get my fingers in to screw on the sensors. I will need a valve extender, which will compromise the anti-theft feature. The valve on the inside rear dual is ok, since it came with valve extender, but unfortunatley is long enough to again compromise the anti theft feature. On the outside dual, the valve is horizontal to the hole in the hub cap so I will need a 90 degree valve extender And I'm not sure if I can get my fingers close enough to the valve to screw on the extendor. The wheel may have to come off to straighten the valve. With the "easy to install" statement in the advertising, I didn't think I would have to take the Motor Home to a Camping World to have the system installed (150 miles round trip, and more $). I feel TST should point out these potential problems in thier advertisments so the purchaser is more aware of what additional items may be needed.. Additionally. This is only stated in the instruction manual (which is read after purchase). If you have to take the hub cap off, be sure they are not bolted on. I'm used to hub caps that "pop" off and now have one that is bent up. I'll report again when the system is fully installed.
