Water Pressure
You hook your water hose to the pedestal and lay the hose in the sun. As the sun heats up the hose and the water inside doesn't the pressure inside increase also ? So at the pedestal you have say 10...

Psi inside your camper would remain the same as the incoming CG pressure. If you are thinking your hot hose could drive the pressure up from the CG faucet connection all the way through the municipal distribution system back to the water system source (dam, well, lake), not possible. If you had the CG faucet off, any pressure increase in the hose and RV piping would be insignificant.t.
Gil beat me to it again, he saves me a lot of typing.
Not quite all the way back to the source. Every water system is going to have built in Back Flow Preventers at points in the system.
Many of the camp ground I frequent use no-freeze water hydrants. In those cases there is a Back Flow Preventer screwed right on the hydrant. In this application the OP question would still be relevant.
I don't think the little bit of extra pressure is going to do much in any case.
