Best Brand of Quick Connectors for Fresh Water Hose
After several trips in the new rig, I have decided that my old way of hooking up a pressure reducer, water filter, and 90 deg elbow each and every time I connect to the park water supply is a pain in the butt. My short WHITE hose is developing leaks around the fittings so I need to replace the ends anyway.
I'm thinking about adding a couple of quick connect fittings onto the pressure reducer (with pressure gauge) and my hose to make things a bit easier when setting up.
Anyone here using these fittings and do you have any comments to share about brands or configurations?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

I have no idea about brands. We bought several sets from lowes and they look like the ones above. No issues. We also ditched the traditional non flexible fresh water hose and went with a Zero G flex hose for our fresh water. They are fresh water safe and much easier to maneuver.

Gorilla brand brass disconnects. I bought a set of 4 from a seller on ebay, based on Chad and Tara's use from the "Changing Lanes" website. Been using them all summer long and absolutely perfect...no issues.

@Fivecodys the recommendation by @Ynot4me2 may frustrate you - he/she is in Canada and has provided a link to Amazon Canada but you may have trouble finding the Gardena products in the U.S.
We have a bunch of them at our house, used them for years, but whenever I've looked for them in U.S. hardware stores I couldn't find them. I've therefore stocked up with products I can easily find when we're traveling in the States, and they look exactly like the ones recommended by @FT4NOW in post #2 above.
You're definitely on the right track - hooking up is so much easier with a few extra parts added to the system. I have a couple of brass 90-degree elbows permanently screwed into the plastic Nautilus inputs, so they get minimum wear and tear. I have a couple of these:

attached to the elbows, and the regulator and sometimes a water gauge are quick-connected to them. Quick-connect the water supply hose and done.Mark - 2018 Solitude 310GK - 2017 F-350 diesel SRW short box - Pullrite Superglide hitch

Are any of these “Drinking water safe”? I’ve looked at them before, agreeing that they would be a time-saver when hooking up but, the only thing that I’ve found either say “Not drinking water safe” or they don’t say one way or the other. I’ve found the same with the collapsible hoses.
