Twinkle Star Water Pressure Regulator
I want to pick up an adjustable water pressure regulator. I'm thinking of the "Twinkle Star water pressure Regulator" with a gauge and inlet screen. Looks ok but I'd like some opinions or suggestions ...

Not what your are asking about, but I don't use any water pressure regulators.
Many years ago, with our first travel trailer, we did an overnight at a KOA and the check-in manager recommended we use a pressure regulator because the campground pressure was 120 psi, which would blow out most RV plumbing. I thanked him for letting me know.
I thought about that setting up the campsite for the night and thought about that Cameo regulator the RV dealer gave us with the starter package. But I decided right then and there to never use a pressure regulator, or ever hook up to city water directly. From that point onward, we always filled our fresh water tank and used the on-board water pump. If we are at a campsite that has water on the site, I'll run the hose for convenience, but use it to fill the fresh tank only, then turn the water spigot completely off.
I figure, the on-board water pump, although it makes noise, will never exceed the RV's most extreme pressure possible. And I've never had problems with my water lines in over 20 years, 1 pup, 3 TT, and 1 5er later.
It's just a suggestion, something to think about. Good luck.
