Don't forget to check your valve stems

We are going out for Memorial day next weekend. It's out first outing of the season so I was checking everything on the Sunline. One of the tires was low so I hooked up the hose to the compressor and went to fill it. When I put the chuck on the valve stem I heard a leak. It turns out the valve stem is cracked. I went and gave the rest of them a tug and twist and they are OK.

I had all the tires replaced 2 years ago. The stems were replaced then too.
