Had my BB checked out $$$$
I think you are correct that the valve cores have a nylon apron seal around the outside of the core and they have another seal on the inside of the core that seals the small passage up the center of the core that opens up when you push the little center pin in with your tire chuck to add air or check the pressure. That is the seal that the silicone lubricates and helps seal.
How long have you owned the 1995 PT42? Do you like the coach?

I note, however, that the schrader valve cores seem to have a thin plastic "apron" that makes the final seal. I've noticed that some of the leakers seem to get a crease or partial tear in the plastic. I also suspect debris of some sort, as simply adding an extra pulse of air (without any lubricant) will sometimes stop a leaker.
The last line of defense is a good cap on the valve stem. Of course, if you get a leak down where the stem connects to the wheel, then you're out of luck. You just have to pull the wheel and tire and replace the stem.
