I made leveling blocks from stall mat from a ranch supply store and they also work under the jacks. Cut to the size you want. They will never break. $60 can make 20 blocks
Zero G does make blue drinking water safe hoses. We use them. Had a Zero G hose at our house it’s 6 years old. Emailed the company a video of the leak, they sent me a new hose..
We use the round water hose bucket thing you showed some months ago. And has done an excellent job of taming the 50' monster. The hose coils up nicely. When done I set it on the truck's tailgate and let it drain.
Can you drive up onto the pads or only useful under tires only if you lift the rig,place them under and lower back down on to? If yes to driving, how many can you stack and still drive onto?
@@GratefulGlamperkeep in mind that some appliances may get damaged from this device. Certain ones require full power on start up and this may treat it as a bit of a brown out power service. Give Todd a call and ask him his opinion on these.
@GratefulGlamper yeah, I get that. It just seems like a lot of weight dangling there. And isn't it really close to the ground? But, it works okay together?
I’m still in the phase of buying a diesel pusher and I love your new product and I will definitely get it and when I do, I’ll make sure either order from your website or the other channel. The moon new tent with roof air flow looks vents nice and It’s a good idea.
Zero G also makes a RV drinking water safe hose if you prefer that brand. Its the Apex line. Not saying anyone is better than the other just sharing the info.
All zero G hoses are drinking water safe. Garden hoses that arent may have lead and other elements that arent good for you, but all zero G hoses are lead free and drinking water safe and FDA approved.
The SoftStart looks amazing! We often find ourselves camping in places where a 30-amp connection is the only option available, and this would be great on those hot days. However, it has raised a question that I looked into but couldn’t find an answer on their website. We feel that a surge protector is essential-when we were first starting out, before we were educated, we melted a cord. The SoftStart's website states that it performs a diagnostic test, but it doesn’t mention anything about having a built-in surge protector. Am I missing something on their site? Do I have to choose between the two, or can both be connected? I fear sweating is in my future if we have to remove the surge protector. Unless you know of another solution?
most of us drank from the green rubber nasty hose growing up, never heard of anyone having life threatening illness form it, i think its way over rated on what kind of hose to use, plus mostly everyone has some kind of filtration system now a days on their rig anyway, i use blue shrinkage hose for fresh water and black shrinkage hose for black tank flush and drink bottled water anyway....done and done......just my thoughts is all...
We have snap pads also but we’ve had many times when to level the RV maxes out our levelers so blocks are sometimes needed depending on ding on the campsite.
Those SnapStackers are so cool! The unused rubber tops can also be as a kneeling pad. Was lucky enough to be camping just a few spots away from where they were photographing new products so of course we chatted with their R&D dude.
The whole marketing ploy behind snap pads was to prevent you from having to use wood or leveling blocks under your leveling jacks. Now they want you to buy expensive pads for underneath the snap pads. I'm just sticking with the orange legos.
Moonshade is a great idea, but good grief too expensive for a canadian 🙄. First purchase is in usa currency so i'll get hit by my creditcards currency conversion rates, and then i'm sure shipping is another tack on $$ border crossing nightmare. By the time a moonshade n wall land betya looking at $800 canadian, for an awning shade with a wall! 😱 😂 yup nuts, forget that! 😂. Love gadget videos anyway guys! 🍻

Brilliant! How did u cut em?
@@SpykersB with a utility knife and a straight edge
Great idea!
I use pieces of 4x6 wood
You should also install your water pressure gauge befor the filter then hose

Good to know - thanks for sharing
The grey hoses are also labeled 'drinking water safe'. Is there some study that was done to say otherwise? What am I missing here?
Correct. Yes the gray hoses state drinking water safe.
We use the round water hose bucket thing you showed some months ago. And has done an excellent job of taming the 50' monster. The hose coils up nicely. When done I set it on the truck's tailgate and let it drain.
Can you drive up onto the pads or only useful under tires only if you lift the rig,place them under and lower back down on to? If yes to driving, how many can you stack and still drive onto?
You can’t drive up on them without some sort of ramp, but you can place under tires when leveling.
That SoftStartUp looks amazing! Do you also need the surge protector or does the SoftStartUp do both?
The correct way is to first connect your Surge Protector to the Power Pedestal or Generator and then connect the SoftstartUp

I have 2 coleman 14x14 canopies I carrie with me in my class a. They have 4 legs and roof vents. Put them anywhere. Under 200 canadian ea.
Wondering how that soft start works in line with a surge protector? That's an awful lot hanging from the pedestal, huh?
@@roberto3262 I was thinking the same thing.

$40 per pad means those stakpads are $$$. Maybe for next season.
This is a product that you purchase when you have nothing else on your want or needs list! Be good to have but... I can buy wood a whole lot cheaper!
They had over $500 of crib blocks in that storage.
I could buy a lot of wood for that!
You have over $400 of pads there! I think that I will stick with my wooden pads with handles :-) My pads also interlock.
I just checked on Amazon for the hose there are two reviews and both said that it ruptured within 2 weeks of using it. What are your thoughts.
So far so good for us…? I’m sure Camco would completely stand behind their products if they fail.
That happened to me. Used about two months and it started leaking in several spots.

For sure, thanks for watching
😂😂 not "their" products. They are demonstrating for various companies.

Thanks for the info!
Great stuff, I was already looking at the moon shade cuz my RV won’t have an awning.
Good choice!
❤Thank You. We are definitely checking out the pads.
Our pleasure!
Be cautious with the suction cup mounts. If they are very strong they may delaminate your fibreglass.
There you go again. Spending my money. 🤣❤
RVs are just Terra Firma's version of a BOAT. Bust Out Another Thousand... lol

Don' think there were any carcinogens there, do ya?
I have snap pads but what’s funny is snap pad would advertise that there is no need for blocks.
We have snap pads also but we’ve had many times when to level the RV maxes out our levelers so blocks are sometimes needed depending on ding on the campsite.
@@GratefulGlamper oh I get it. We have blocks on three snap pads at the moment. I dig those new pads shown on the video, very cool.
I bought the EvoFlex2 and it sprung a leak in the middle of the hose in a month. Convenient for sure but disappointing performance.

Awesome, thanks for watching
Yikes. I will stick with my 2x8 blocks thanks. $250 for 6 stakpads! WOW.
Ive used those flexible hoses and feel like it negatively affects the water pressure…anyone else think that?
Never had an issue with ours. We use a water pressure regulator AND run it thru a 2 canister filter before it comes into our rig.
Great selection of products! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Moon shade etal is nice… but ‘too rich for my blood’🤯
They have a few different options at different price points - all depends on what you need/want! Thanks for watching
If you're RV'ERS, everything is expensive lol

Our nearly 37k pound Rv crushed the plastic lego type blocks.
Mats made from recycled plastic bottles perhaps?

It's not the norm with this channel, but this video seems like they are marketing new products for snap pads and moon shade...
Every once in a while, we have fun testing out new gear. Thanks for watching
What's a pedestool? 😂😂
The Pedestal is where you connect your electrical connections at a campground.
@@GratefulGlamper thanks for missing the joke
Way to pricey for about everything mentioned.
Height not heighth.
