in line water regulator

Does it make sense to install an "in line" water pressure regulator locating it just inside of the city water line connection inside the trailer?

This would be a permanent installation. Saw a couple of regulators when buying plumbing supplies at Home Depot.

The regulator I refer to does connect to 1/2 inch PEX which I currently have in fiver.

Has anyone does this?

Thanks for the help!

    I have my regulator on the water spigot which also protects the water hose from high pressure. My water hose is just shy of 4 years old of full time use and it still looks good. I firmly believe it's long life is due to not seeing high pressure from some municipal systems. It was not a high priced hose to start with.

    I think most folks don't do it since the location is hard to access. Most good regulators have moving parts and moving parts means maintenance and repair.
