I am most likely going with this:
UNDER SINK
WHOLE RV
Anytime something has "RV" in the name folks here seem to be willing to pay more than it is worth.
Instead, buy a off the shelf whole house filter look this..
Which can be bought at Home Depot or Lowes for about $50
They take a standard disposable cartridges that you can buy anywhere also. For sediment/dirt/sand removal you can use the spun yarn version which filters down to 5 Micron levels..
Those filters run about $3.00 each.
You can also buy pleated paper filter with charcoal for taste/odor removal..
You also do not need multiple filters in line, one should be sufficient.
For hose connection you can buy a hose bib to pipe thread adapter..
Like these..
All parts should be available at any Home Depot or Lowes..
I personally do not use any filters on my RV, I don't drink the water from the RV water system, just use that water for shower and toilet. I buy bottled water for drinking, ice and cooking purposes.. $1.00 per gallon jug available everywhere. That way I am not messing around with filters.
