    Not sure why these are even needed anymore on newer coaches. The new pex tubing used on MH's can withstand far more pressure than a CG supply can provide. I am sure there will be a slew of responses stating otherwise. But I don't use one.

  • My 2003 has a water pressure regulator installed from the factory so I guess the real answer is that some do. I would suspect that your Phaeton would have one if any do.
  • Water Regulators are NOT standard issue by the OEM's. There have been a few (very few) over the years that had an integrated city water input that had the regulator, but those came with the PSI gauge so you could see the pressure. Tiffin does NOT install Regulators on their motorhomes. Doug
  • If you are talking about water pressure regulators, no, I had not heard that new rigs come with them. Although, the dealer may give you one in a customer appreciation gift kit.
