Ask first

Every question, answered.

All 18 of them — the practical, the skeptical, and the honest limits. Missing yours? hello@steadilabs.com reads everything.

Does it actually hold on while the rig is moving?

That's the terrain it's built for. The wide flexible base spreads across the dash or the table instead of balancing on a point, and the fins hold the drink by its bottom inch through vibration and braking. It resists tipping on a hard corner — it isn't a seatbelt, so a full drink still belongs in a holder, not loose on the seat.

Do I have to drill or screw anything into the coach?

No. Nothing attaches to the dash, the wall, or the dinette. It sits on top of whatever surface is in front of you and moves with you from the cockpit to the campsite.

Will my 40 oz tumbler fit?

Measure the bottom, not the rim. A base 2 to 3 inches across settles in — the 40 oz Stanley-style tumbler does. A handled mug doesn't; the handle sits where a fin needs to close.

My dinette table already wobbles. Does this fix that?

No — the table's play is a leg-socket problem, not a drink problem, and this doesn't reach that far. What it does is hold the drink steady on top of a table that's still rocking, so the wobble stops being your cup's problem too.

Does it work outside, at the campsite?

Yes — on the picnic table, the camp chair armrest, or set straight on the ground. The wide footprint and the grip do the same job on gravel and grass that they do on the dash.

The campground picnic table is slatted wood and never level either — does that matter?

Same base, same answer. It doesn't need a flat, solid surface underneath — it spreads across whatever's there, slats and all, and settles the drink back when the table gets bumped.

I don't have factory cup holders at all in the cab. Does this actually replace them?

For a lot of owners, yes — it becomes the cab's only real holder. Set it on the dash or wedge it into the console spot you already improvised, and it holds where nothing built-in ever did.

How do I clean it?

Rinse it or run it through the dishwasher between trips. It's one piece of flexible material with nothing to take apart.

Who makes it, and where do I buy one?

It's called the Steadi, molded in small runs in Orange, California by Steadi Labs. Every order ships free from steadilabs.com, with 30 days to send it back if it's not for you.

Does condensation from a cold tumbler leave rings on the dinette laminate?

It shouldn't get the chance to. The fins grip the tumbler itself, not just the surface underneath, so a sweating cup stays gripped instead of sliding around and dragging a ring across the laminate. If moisture does collect on the base, it wipes off in one pass — it's one piece of solid material with nowhere for water to sit or seep in.

Does it hold up over years of highway vibration the way the dinette's leg socket doesn't?

There's no socket, spring, or clamp inside it to work loose the way the dinette pedestal does — it's one piece of injection-molded material with no moving parts to fatigue. The vibration that loosens a bolted joint over a season of driving simply doesn't have a joint to work on here.

Will it survive a hard freeze in a basement storage bay over the winter?

It's used outdoors on ice and packed snow, so ordinary cold weather isn't a problem for the material. There's no water line, seal, or hollow chamber inside it that a hard freeze could split — it's one solid piece of flexible material, not a component built around trapped water.

Will it hold a grandkid's sippy cup when family visits for the weekend?

A sippy cup or straw cup with a base in the 2 to 3 inch range fits the same as any other container that size — the fins grip the bottom inch regardless of what's printed on the outside. A juice box doesn't have a round base to grip, so that one's still better held by hand.

How many does a typical rig actually need — one for the cab, or one per spot?

Most owners end up with one per place they actually sit: one on the dash, one at the dinette, one for the sofa, and one that travels outside to the camp chair or the picnic table. Each stands on its own, so carrying one out to the campsite doesn't leave the dinette without one.

Is this a good gift for a full-timer or someone who just bought their first rig?

It solves a specific, recognizable annoyance — a cab with no factory holder, or a dinette nobody trusts with a full cup — which makes it an easy small gift for someone who wouldn't necessarily buy it for themselves. It ships free and is molded and packed in Orange, California.

Does it work in the toad, or only inside the motorhome itself?

Yes — it isn't mounted to anything, so it rides in the towed car the same way it rides in the coach: on the dash or console, wherever there's a flat spot. It comes along whenever the toad gets unhooked and driven on its own.

How is this different from a magnetic cup system like Silwy that some RVers mount on the dash?

A magnetic system only holds a cup at the one spot where its matching metal coaster lives, and the coasters themselves are hand-wash only. This doesn't need a coaster or a magnet — it grips the container directly, so it works at the dash, the dinette, or the picnic table without a matched set of parts to carry between them.

Does a stemless wine glass fit, or only the silicone kind RVers bring instead?

Both, as long as the base lands in the 2 to 3 inch range — a real stemless glass and a wide-based silicone or stemless plastic wine cup grip the same way. Real glass is a bit of a rolling-home taboo for a lot of RVers, so the silicone version is the one that actually rides along on most rigs, and it fits just as well.
