I just had to replace one of my Tredit T04 AL wheels on my new 2011 3150RL due to a very slow pin hole leak. Noticed the pressure dropped 10-12 lbs during the month it sat at the storage yard. Thought it was the valve but my tire shop put it in the dunk tank and we could see a micro stream of air coming from the wheel on the backside where the spoke meets the rim! Must have been a casting porosity defect. My RV dealer was able to get a replacement wheel from Tredit in under a week and had it remounted , balanced and installed.
Lesson for All; Monitor your tire pressures often, keep records, and take action if you notice changes.
