Water hookup...
We are taking our first trip in our 5th wheel Thursday. We have a 2002 r-vision. Do i need a water pressure regulator? Will not be using my tanks, just going from the hose to the camper. Also....

While I definitely respect the words of he who lives in Montana, I gotta say that these answers are very debatable.
Just because you don't have a regulator(or never needed one) is not saying that you never will have a water line/connection malfunction due to high rv park water pressure (and I hope you never do); however, if you do, you'll sure wish that you had one. Like all insurance (which this is), you always hope you never need it, but always get it anyway.
Sustained upper 20* weather will definitely freeze up a hose filled with water. Don't ask me how I know. For just overnight stays, just simply disconnect it and drain it out....no big deal.
Both of these questions have simple CYA answers. Why take a chance?
