Proper Spot for Water Pressure Regulator
Where is the best place to put the water pressure regulator? At the rv park spigot or at the rv fresh water inlet.

Thats how it works in residential applications. Ive been on 1000's of calls for failed exp tanks on closed loops systems. On arrival the relief valve of water heaters spewing all over the place.
Why would a RV be any different?
Why do you think your relief valve weeps in your RV? Mine does when water is heating..
You can flame me all you want. I have thick skin... Im just bringing up a valid point..
I did fail to realize there is a spring check in the water inlet:E
More so why a accumulator or exp tank is beneficial...
I do find the accumulator tank I installed in our RV beneficial in reducing pump starts and the need to re-establish the heater tank's air pocket, but as far as the water heater itself goes in the absence of an accumulator, if the relief valve is weeping when heating, then the air pocket in the tank is gone. Simply draining the tank fully with the relief valve open will re-establish the air pocket as noted in the owners manual trouble shooting section for most. Not all residential systems have an accumulator tank either.
