140 PSI Water Pressure

If you have plans to stay at the AF Academy Famcamp in Colorado Springs CO, be forewarned they have *very* high water pressure. At 140 PSI it's high enough to seriously damage some RV's. They advise the use of a water pressure regulator on their info brochure, but no verbal mention of it during check-in. We always use a fixed 50 PSI water pressure regulator, but for those who may not, just a heads-up.

We elected to not take any chances and just fill and use the water from our FW tank.

    Isn't that part of the fun, learning the in's and out's of RVing? Blown piping, tripped breakers, old tires, cracked roofs, and all the other things we never thought would go wrong.....

    Why is there not a HUGE placard inside the RV to warn us of all these pitfalls?

    "We elected to not take any chances and just fill and use the water from our FW tank." That is the safest way...at all times...and if the CG water system goes down with a full tank you'll be fine for days.
