TUFFTRED

Permanent Non-Slip Step Mat/Cover – for RV, Garages & Hot Tubs

A. TuffTred is a permanent, peel-and-stick traction mat designed to provide a non-slip surface on steps and other areas.

Clean and dry the step surface thoroughly
Peel the 3M backing
Align carefully
Press firmly across the full surface

Installation takes up to 5 minutes per step.

No screws. No wrapping. No Velcro. No removing them every trip.

A. TuffTred works great on:

RV steps
Garage steps
Deck stairs
Hot tub steps
Any surface where you need better traction

A. Unlike carpet-style step covers, TuffTred:

Does not absorb water
Won’t stay wet or get moldy
Provides consistent grip in wet or dry conditions
Stays securely in place

A. Yes, but permanent. They adhere using high-temp 3M backing and don’t shift like removable treads.

A. TuffTred is approximately 3/16” thick (thin enough to maintain clearance, thick enough for durable traction).

They are designed to work on most manual and powered RV steps, including many Class A powered steps like Kwikee-style retractable steps. Because they adhere directly to the step surface and do not wrap around the edge like carpet covers, they typically maintain clearance when the steps retract.

That said, powered step assemblies vary. If your steps retract tightly into a frame or skirt, we recommend measuring clearance before installation to ensure there is at least 3/16” of additional space.

A. TuffTred uses a high-temp 3M adhesive backing rated for 200°F+ surface temperatures, which exceeds the temperatures most RV step surfaces reach—even in Arizona summers.

Unlike carpet covers that degrade, fade, or trap moisture, TuffTred is designed for heat, sun exposure, and repeated outdoor use.

Proper surface prep during installation is key to long-term performance in extreme heat.

A. Yes. For steps that are smaller than 20", you can use a flat blade to cleanly trim to size.

A. TuffTred isn’t just a piece of rubber.

It’s:

A custom traction pattern designed to knock debris off shoes
A durable, heat-resistant compound
Backed with high-temp 3M industrial adhesive
Engineered to replace recurring carpet purchases

Most RV step covers need replacing every season. TuffTred installs once and stays put.

It’s not a temporary rug—it’s a permanent upgrade.

STONE HINGE

Hinge and Handle for Blackstone Griddles with hardcover 28" - 44"

A. Stone Hinge is a hinge and handle system that converts your removable Blackstone hard cover into a hinged lid, making it easier to open, close, and control heat while cooking.

A. StoneHinge is designed to work with 28”, 36”, and 44" Blackstone griddles that use a removable hard cover (flat metal cover).

It is not compatible with factory hood/lid models.

A. No. StoneHinge is designed specifically for griddles that use a removable hard cover, not models that come with a factory-installed hood/lid.

A. StoneHinge is a hinge and handle kit.

It converts your existing Blackstone hard cover into a hinged lid.

You must already own a compatible hard cover.

A. StoneHinge is compatible with most 28”, 36”, and 44” Blackstone griddles that use the standard removable hard cover design.

If you’re unsure, check:

Your model number on the rear data plate
Whether your cover fully lifts off (not factory-hinged)

If you’d like confirmation, contact us with your model and serial number, and we’ll verify compatibility.

A. No. StoneHinge uses a clamp-on design and installs in about 5 minutes.

No drilling.

No permanent modification.

No damage to your grill.

A. Most customers install StoneHinge in about 5 minutes using basic hand tools.

A. Yes. StoneHinge uses:

Powder-coated steel hinges
Powder-coated steel clamps
A heat-friendly handle

It’s built for outdoor cooking conditions.

A. Yes—if you’re comfortable drilling the holes yourself.

For reference, the correct placement (based on hardcovers we designed for) is:

1” from the back edge
0.75” up from the bottom edge
9/32” drill bit for the hole diameter

Note: We love Mavericks doing DIY things; however, modifying your cover is at your own risk. 4 Mavericks is not responsible for damage to your grill.

A. Stone Hinge allows you to close the lid when needed to help trap heat, but you should always follow Blackstone’s cooking guidelines and avoid fully sealing heat for extended periods.

Tow-n'-Glow

Towed Vehicle Safety Night Light

A. Tow-n-Glow is a plug-and-play LED light that connects to your RV’s 6-pin outlet to improve visibility when hooking up and towing at night.

A. Because you're 9 times more likely to have an accident of some kind at night, according to the National Safety Council. For RVers, this can happen while driving, but also while setting up/tearing down.

With Tow-n'-Glow, there's no more need to fear the night. You can set up or tear down with full, daytime-level illumination, and you can also drive with confidence if you ever need to!

A. Hooking up your towed vehicle in low light

Disconnecting at night

Improving visibility during nighttime driving

A. Tow-n'-Glow utilizes the already-existing wires within your 6-pin umbilical cable for power. Specifically, it uses your Ground (which, if you're looking at your towed vehicle's 6-pin connector, should be in the 2 o'clock spot) and your Tail/Running Lights (which should be in the 12 o'clock position).

As soon as you turn on your RV's lights (which powers the Running Lights pin), you'll see Tow-n'-Glow light up the Tow Zone!

A. No. Tow-n-Glow plugs directly into your existing 6-pin connection—no wiring or modifications required.

A. More than likely, your 6-pin umbilical connectors are wired incorrectly. Tow-n'-Glow does require things to be wired in the standard way (Tail/Running Lights pin at the 12 o'clock position, Ground pin at the 2 o'clock position) in order to work properly.

If Tow-n'-Glow does not illuminate when you turn on your RV's lights, then grab a multimeter and test those two pins. You should see about 12v coming off that Tail/Running Lights pin when your RV lights are on (it will drop to 0v when the lights are off).

If you're not seeing 12v, it may be worthwhile to take your RV or towed vehicle to a mechanic to have those connectors rewired. If you are seeing 12v but Tow-n'-Glow still isn't illuminating, reach out to us via our Contact Form HERE so we can troubleshoot with you further!

A. Your Tow-n'-Glow comes with a 1-year Limited Warranty that protects you from any failure caused by manufacturing defects (this does not cover theft or failure of the product due to misuse).

If your Tow-n'-Glow fails within that first year, please reach out to us via our Contact Form HERE and we'll be happy to replace it!

Level Out

Bluetooth RV Level

A. Level Out is a permanently mounted RV leveling sensor that connects to your phone via Bluetooth to show real-time leveling data.

A. Level Out gives you real-time leveling feedback directly on your phone, so you don’t have to guess, get in and out of the RV, or rely on inaccurate bubble levels. It helps you level faster and with more confidence.

A. Yes—Level Out works with all motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and campers. If your RV needs leveling, Level Out can help.

A. Level Out removes the guesswork from leveling your RV by giving you precise front-to-back and side-to-side measurements.

A. Yes. Many RV owners use Level Out alongside auto-leveling systems to verify true level and fine-tune adjustments when factory auto-level systems aren’t perfectly accurate.

A. No. Level Out uses Bluetooth to connect directly to your smartphone, so no Wi-Fi or internet connection is required.

A. For best results, install it either:

upside down in an outside storage bay against the RV deck
or right-side up inside a lower cabinet against the cabinet base

The app will ask which orientation you used during setup

A. Yes. When mounting, make sure the “F” arrow points toward the FRONT of the RV .

A. Typically, yes—mounting uses the included screws to secure the base plate .

(If you ever want adhesive mount options later, that could be another upsell.)
