Questions

I am buying a water filter and noticed there are different GPMs. Do I need to be concerned with the GPM matching up with something in the camper, or just pick the highest one I want for water flow in the shower? Should I also buy a regulator?

Heater/AC: When running either, the fan never shuts off like in a house when it reaches the set temp. Is this normal? It is quite loud.

Thanks

    No need to match anything in trailer for the filter.

    Yes, buy a regulator. CG city water pressure can vary from very weak to very high pressure that can blow a line or connector in your trailer. You'll get lots of opinions on what kind, but if you are a "weekender" a $15 regulator will work fine. Check your manual for recommended PSI limits. Usually it's 50.

    Yes, the constant fan is normal on lower end units. That's one of the few things we dislike about our trailer but for the few times a year we actually use the AC, we're willing to put up with it.
