Water pressure regulator...
Should my water pressure regulator be in line before or after my water filter?
Forum Discussion
I've been doing this more lately. An example is this. We'd boondock at the football all weekend. Then go to a campground with water hookup. However, I'd just continue using out of the fresh water tanks in order to help keep that water fresh. When I'd run out of water from the fresh tanks, I'd put more city water in them. Then I'd be back at the boondocking area at the university for another football weekend.
Hadn't given that much thought about pressure from the city water possibly doing damage to the piping.

This is exactly why I do the same thing. I never hook up the hose to the fresh water inlet. I always fill the fresh water tank and pump from there. And .... I've never had problems doing it this way either.
But, for the OP, if you are going to use a regulator, put it on the spigot. Hopefully, if it fails, your garden hose will blow before the pipes in your camper does!
