As for thermal expansion and the regulator acting as a check valve, all RVs I've seen for the last 20 years have a check valve right at the hose connection so you already have a 'closed system'. If not for that check valve, if you weren't connected to city water, you'd have a stream of water spraying out of the hose connection as soon as you turned on your pump. My experience is that all the $10 regulators, although they do the job, also are very restrictive and make for a really weak shower experience. The good, larger units with the valve seem to pass a much greater volume of water.
