We have been using then for a year now and love them. I bought on blue and one black. The blue if for the RV and the black is for everything else. They contact back up into a smaller coil than a normal hose. Fits better into the crate for the water supplies that we have.
Thanks Adam! Been using the Zero G around the house and garden for awhile and love it. Didn't know they made them for RV's until seeing this. I'll be replacing the hose in my trailer come spring!
Adam, as long as we're talking about the water connection. You're still fairly new at this and might not have seen someone wash their waste hose directly on the water spigot yet, sooner or later you will. It's common and gross. Spray it good with a bleach-water solution including up into the open end before you set your rig up. Then rinse the petcock off and hook up knowing you're not brushing your teeth in someone else's nastiness.
I have been using this hose for a couple of years and have recommended it to others. I was frustrated with the stiff traditional hoses. After use I just drain the water and loosely wad it up and place in my storage area. I have a class A with plenty of space, but those with minimal storage area will appreciate this hose.
I threw my Zero G hose away. The connectors leaked all over the place. I could never get it to seal against the filter or camper. I went back to a camco superflex hose and haven't had any issues since. I used the Zero G hose for probably a dozen camping trips and it started leaking after about the 3rd or 4th trip. I definitely wouldn't recommend using them....for anything.
Great Video. I've always been skeptical about the rubber hoses like those. I haven't had good luck with the cheaper ones over the years. I'll have to give one of these a try. I hate trying to coil back up a 50-100' tradition water hose.
Hola meu amigo Adam,obrigado por compartilhar tenho muitos problemas com mangueira aqui no Brasil,ressecam e partem muito fácil!Esta me parece uma boa mangueira bem resistente!João Carlos.
You might make a future video about freeze protection! Heater tape? Insulation sock with electric heater tape? And what about the storage tanks and the rest of the plumbing? Sounds like a bad day if they freeze/burst... I don't hear of it too often, but it might make a cool video.
5:12 50 to 55 PS? I like to run 65 to 70 PSI. I use a pressure regulator that shows the actual PSI and is adjustable. I've never had an issue running at those levels. Fun fact, of the hundreds of campgrounds we've been to I have only 1 time seen pressure that the regulator needed to adjust and would have probably been an issue for campers. I don't know how high it would have gone but it pegged my regulator at like 72 which is where I had it set. I guess if it saves you one time it pays for itself though.
We have similar hoses here in England, but ours are 'Chinese' with plastic connectors. They last about 15 uses before the hose blows off the connector rendering it scrap as you can't re-connect them. Now that we are coming out of the EU we might be able to buy American products as we seem to have forgotten how to make things here. I'm sure that a large store chain could be set up here selling all American products and be very successful. Whatever happened to the 'Made In England' stamp that used to be a sign of high quality and pride?
We have forgotten how to build things here in the States as well. I would love to see anything with Made in USA or Made in England or.... anywhere but china. Lowercase on purpose.
That’s an excellent question. I’d imagine he has. There just NPT, or (National Pipe Threads) good question though. I’ve never seen Adam machine a pipe thread.
Eric M Yea, it’s NH (National Hose). But the ID is the same as any standard NPT. Just thin walled and typically made of brass or aluminum. Thread form and pitch are all the same though. They just call it NP ... meh, FigNewton.
Hey C.A. Long! I just confirmed by reading on Wikipedia what I had learned in real life experience that National pipe thread or NP and hose thread or HP are not the same! I hope you read it yourself! Ride ride ride!
Absolutely great for RV, BUT...... after about a month, the fittings started to leak and since they are actually cloth, you cannot fix it. This is third house and same thing happened every time. Talking with other RVers, same thing happened to them. Size is fantastic and not too much restriction.
The reviews on Amazon have been horrible with the leaking??? I just looked them up after just watching your review I wonder if they changed how they make them. I was just going to order 2 for our truck camper. Now i'm not sure, I'm sick of our hard to wrap up standard rv drinking water hoses!
What do you do with all the old style hoses, because i have plenty of them for my camper. Between what i use in campground and at home i have quite a bit. I already have all the other stuff. I run my filter where it comes out of faucet, not where it enters camper.
Looks like you are using a black hose for outdoor yard work. Do they hold up well in the sun? I need to replace my yard hoses because they die in the sun. Also do they work well in a hose reel even if you don’t pull the hose all the way out of the reel?
I’ve had mine for a year and it’s still like new. Can’t tell you how long they’ll last, but I will say I love it completely over my old style hoses. So much easier to pull out and move around, and doesn’t kink up. They smaller too so you can put more hose on the reels. They still work just fine while on the reel as well.
@@AbomAdventures Alright, you've convinced me. I'll try them out and buy a few from your affiliate link. Thanks for the feedback and keep up the great content. Cheers.
Would you say it's better to have zero-G 2-25' hoses (most RV sites the 25' is sufficient?) or just get the zero-G 50'? Seems there would be more chances of tangling or other problems with one longer hose. Your thoughts?
I have been using the two 25' hoses and have not had a problem. There's been a couple sites I was concerned the spigot was too far away but it ended up working out fine. I use one hose for fresh water supply, and the other hose for outside use like washing dishes.
I know the pressure is regulated, but what about the volume difference between the old and new hose. The zero g hose looks like it has a smaller diameter.
There is an untrue statement in this video. Both the grey hose and the blue hose are drinking water safe. The only difference is that the blue and teal are 1/2” diameter and the grey is 5/8”. It says drinking water safe right on the package. And the manufacturer confirmed both are constructed identical. Only difference is color. Before reviewing a product you should do your homework. Too many People watching these reviews rely on your accuracy.
I take your word Abom, but do you really use these things on a regular basis? I mean, is this a monetary gain, or do you really use these things regularly and are happy with them? Honest. Trade to trade.
I wouldn’t suggest it if I didn’t use them or believe they’re a good product. This isn’t a paid ad, just something I’m showing to help others. I bought them to use. Throw your old hoses away and get some of these that work better!
I was pretty sure one of the first things he said with the hoses was he had a 75' on his shop for over a year and loved it...the rest is just plain old fittings...the splitter will die eventually, they all do (I go through one every couple years at my home), the 90 degree should be good for a long time as there are no moving parts. I wish I knew about those water hoses back when I was boating...would have made it so much easier to plumb the hose to the boat for water.
I read a few comments/reviews on those hoses. They are dandy, but there is a durability issue with the connections/fittings. If it is numbscull abuse or basic maintenance task (a simple recrimp or hose clamp repair)....no biggy. I don't care if you purchase the best hose on the hardware store shelf; IF YOU LEAVE THE PRESSURE ON A HOUSEHOLD HOSE FOR A WHILE...THEY WILL BLOW APART OR HEMORRHAGE. And children love to beat hoses to death! And we were all children! Still, I think that you should address every compaint since you put your name behind the product. Maybe another video on recrimping the ends? The regular homeowner hoses (those heavy, kinky, ones that you hate) also have the same problem... NOTHING LASTS FOREVER! But, when failures occur, it's cool to whip out the utility knife, crimper and replacement ferrule and change it out in 5 MINUTES. The crimp repair is professional, lasts as long as a new one, but the crimper/swage tooling isn't cheap! If you want the professional grade, tradesman, tooling you gota step up. ...but they pay for themselves over the lifetime that you own your home or homes.
Had 2 zero G, These hoses fail and leak at the fittings , company will provide credit. Then you end up with100 feet of hose in the landfill that will be here 100 years from now. 😢
Those exact hoses I used in the video is almost 4 years old and I’ve had no problems from them. They are the perfect water hose for an rv and I’m sticking to them.
@@AbomAdventures glad they are working out for you, I camped for 100 days last winter in Fl using a 50 ft blue one for fresh water, love the hose but this spring it was leaking bad…Then same thing happened with a black one that I use around the house.
I love the fact they have metal fittings instead of plastic .. ENJOYED !!
We have been using then for a year now and love them. I bought on blue and one black. The blue if for the RV and the black is for everything else. They contact back up into a smaller coil than a normal hose. Fits better into the crate for the water supplies that we have.

Old hoses in cold weather are useless. Thanks for sharing Adam
Yeah cuz usually mine have ice stopping them up. LOL

They’re great! If you’re looking to replace one for outdoor use, try the 75 or 100 footer.
I did a pump volume test on a brush truck today with 2 -1" lines , plus a 1 1/2 " line all together with a 200 psi pump.
What does this comment have to do with this video? Are you trying to impress someone with your "pump skills"?
@@paulcopeland9035 i am an engineer, and I get to see the actual products under pressure, run over vehicles, etc....
Nice Amazon store, I only made a small purchase but just the beginning.
We recently purchased a new trailer, so I used your affiliate link to stock up on supplies. Thanks for the hose tip.
@@BTimmer Why would you write this comment here? Did you use James's Amazon store, or Adam's?
@@xenonram Adam's. I was just tagging on to James' comment that he shopped in Adam's store as did I.
My black zero g does nothing but kink! It also expands so much that it's hard for it to supply a power washer. Besides that I like mine

Great video, but I was wondering why you went with 1/2 hose over the 5/8.5/8 is a bigger diameter. Thanks for the help
I can't find the 5/8" rv hose he used in test
Hey Abom79! Have you ever machined a hose thread on a lathe? Ride ride ride!
That’s an excellent question. I’d imagine he has. There just NPT, or (National Pipe Threads) good question though. I’ve never seen Adam machine a pipe thread.
I hope he sees this.
Hey C.A. Long! I'm pretty sure National pipe thread is not the same as hose thread! Ride ride ride!

I’ve been using the same two hoses since showed these originally. No problem with them.
Ours failed after about 30 nights... :-(
No problems with the three I own.
Good vid. Looking for the zero G on you link and cant find it.
I’m thinking about buying one of these for my camper, are they still holding up pretty well?
I’m still using the same two you see in this video 👍🏻
Thanks for the video A&A .
What do you do with all the old style hoses, because i have plenty of them for my camper. Between what i use in campground and at home i have quite a bit. I already have all the other stuff. I run my filter where it comes out of faucet, not where it enters camper.
Just to verify... it IS ok to be under pressure all the time when hooked up to rv? I remember the Pockethose, you couldn't leave turned on.
No longer available anywhere I can find!

I can only find the rv hose in 1/2", including at your store. I've always used 5/8" so will the volume be less?
The ones I’m using seem to do the job just fine for me. You don’t use the same amount of pressure, 1/2” is fine.
Should probably share that it is a 1/2 inch instead of the standard 5/8 inch!
im surprised that water inlet is so close to the power inlet
If it is GFI protected it really doesn't matter.
I know the pressure is regulated, but what about the volume difference between the old and new hose. The zero g hose looks like it has a smaller diameter.
They’re the same size as any other commercial hose you buy. These I’m showing is 5/8”.
thanks Adam
Nice!!
I just bought a new Zero-G hose and it leaks from the female connector. What a waste of my money. If anyone is considering one - buy something else!
Maybe you should return it or exchange it. I have three and none of them leak.
It's a damn fire hose type that's been around for a 100 yrs.
I doubt a firehose is made the same. Zero-G has a flexible rubber hose and the nylon cover protects it.
@@AbomAdventures The nylon outer core is to maintain the pressure rating.
It's similar, but not exact.
@@AbomAdventures I have been ordering and using several different types of fire hose for 3 years now.
