Water pressure regulator?

"thirtydaZe".....You may not be able to tell who is using a regulator. Mine is mounted in the water bay. Most likely you're having issues because you're using one of the cheap inline regulators.

Go to the link that "bob213" posted, Water Filter Store. Purchase the one about half way down. It's adjustable and has a gauge. Once you install it, with the water on (running) adjust the dial until it's set to 60 psi. If you try and set it when the water is not flowing, it will be incorrect.

I would not hook up without a regulator. In the last year, I have been at 2 parks that said that you needed to use one because their pressure was so high. I had one with a gauge on it but it started leaking and we could not fix it. I purchased the Fairview 55 psi inline regular from the RV Water filter store and I have been very pleased with it.

Standard 40 psi on the travel trailer and an adjustable one on the park model (set at 60 psi).

You just never know and even if good today, tomorrow may be a different story.

Not worth the risk.

Ive never heard, what is desirable for an incoming pressure?

I bought a cheap regulator at Ace Hardware, but Boondock mostly, but I have used it (made by Camco) and never a problem. My expirience is limited some.

I use an adjustable water regulator and I find that many campgrounds have different pressure and with mine I can adjust to be within required limits. Wouldn't go any other route.

Won't hook up without one. I have the Watts 263A. Not cheap but I get controlled pressure with good flow.
Regulator

I always use one. Why risk it? I camp with a friend who never does. So far he is lucky.

I use one of the cheap ones from CW - shower pressure is fine. Also have one of the expensive stainless steel ones with an adjustable regulator and gauge - never use it, afraid of forgetting it someplace.

I think it was San Antonio we were in last winter and the RV park had big signs up all over telling everyone to use regulators as the pressure in the park water system was over 100 psi.

I use a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure at the spigot. Use a y with the gauge on one side and hose on the other. If pressure exceeds 60 PSI I put the regulator on.
