Update: my fancy jeep metal valve stems where junk. I really felt like they where chrome. Broke it while connecting an air Chuck to air down on a trail.

Back to oem rubber and tst button sensors.
 
I need to check and see if Newmar sends the coaches with metal or rubber, I can’t remember.
Rbjwell: If your tires take anything more than passenger car tires you will have some sort of metal stem.
I have a TPMS (damned if I can remember the brand right now). I also have a repeater for the trailer sensors. It has saved me a couple of trailer tires just last year. Well worth it.
edit: I just looked and saw it is an Innotech TPMS that I have. InnotechRV 10 Sensor Tire Pressure Monitoring System

My $0.02, had a valve stem on an inner rear tire fail for no apparent reason. Cost me a full day hanging around a tire shop and better part of $200. Replaced the valve stem with a metal "truck" stem.
When I had the tires rotated recently, I replaced all the stems with commercial truck grade brass metal stems.

As mentioned above, TPMS uses the small "puck" style seasons, I do NOT recommend flow through style.
