Water line burst

I've been RVing for almost 50 years. ALWAYS USED A REGULATOR (unless the campground's water trickled out of the hose). Never had any problems with my pipes. I use a "whole house" Watts regulator adapted for garden hose (male/female) set at 50-60psi. I never had any luck with the cheapo regulators that screw on your hose although others I know seem to have no problem with them. I know the larger regulator like I use work 100% of the time and allow full flow - no problem taking showers.
Available at Home Depot and Lowes.

When I first cleared the hose before hooking up at the RV park where we're currently staying, the water shot all the way across the street - no nozzle on the hose! I certainly don't want that kind of pressure inside the rig.
