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...

First: If you have 100 PSI at the park pedestal DO NOT HOOK UP Your RV is likely rated for no more than 50 PSI.. Instead use a Good Pressure Regulator, I recommend any of the following
Watts 1/2 inch or larger with hose adapters
Zurin 1/2 inch or larger with hose adapters
and though I've not PERSONALLY tested: Valterra adjustable
NOTE: My Watts and Zurin are both 3/4 inch
When new.. I set these to 50 PSI and open a Shower.. The needle does not move on the pressure gauge.. as they age,, it starts to move, but you can rebuild them. (I need to get a Watts Kit).
Now to your question:
Does the pressure increase due to the sun.. the answer is both yes and no.. YEs but by a very tiny fraction of a PSI you will never notice.... The park's pressure tank or the city pressure tank, will absorb any increase.
NOTE: one park I visit is 120 PSI by measurement... They blow hoses apart there often.. That's why I have the ZURIN, it holds at a solid 50 PSI and I mean SOLID.
