Pressure regulator at source vs. destination
I recently purchased a semi-expensive adjustable water pressure regulator with gauge. I would rather have it at the RV end of the water hose than the spigot end. I'm not sure if it even makes a differ...

I put the regulator after the filter. Sediment can destroy that new regulator. My setup goes like this;
faucet
wye
hose
sediment filter
regulator
hose
RV
The other side of the wye gets an expandable hose (Think Pocket Hose but better). In case of fire the wye is opened and within seconds the expandable hose is ready to use. Some campgrounds actually require there to always be a hose ready for fires. I hook one up as standard practice required or not.
I also use brass quick connect fittings everywhere except the faucet.
