There's just not a lot of space to get to it. I could touch the near edge of it with something about the size and shape of a 12" ruler and that's about it. The pipe is not out of the tank, but...

Happy to hear you found out about the tire before driving. Sorry to hear you have to replace them though.

I'm really looking at getting a set of TPMs. It just seems like a good idea.

We've been looking for a rig since January. It's been slim pickings for motorhomes up here -- ones that a person would want to buy anyway. We've changed our minds about what we wanted several times...
