an interesting suggestion.

I use one of those Walmart special pressure reducers... I think it is actually by "Campmor"?

It does reduce direct water pressure coming out of the faucet, but the water volume is decent. Noticeably less, but usable.

"Cutting down water going into the waste tanks" is all about how you use water, adding a pressure regulator / reducer really won't change that all that much. If you want to experiment, just add a simple on/off thumb valve to your water hose and put it to 1/4 or 1/2 open.

the only way to save on water usage is to use a $9.00 walmart special instead of the proper watts type. no flow with a WMS.

In my previous house I had 150 psi city water pressure.
The "lifetime" hoses from HD lasted 2 to 4 hr before they burst.
So I have Pressure Regulator permanently attached to my camper hose.
On the faucet side to reduce pressure fluctuation.
Never trusted the inline regulators, so have one of those.

It is a must! I now put mine right on the camp ground connection the pressure in one cause the hose connection to expand and fail so now it goes on before my hose.

NOT using a pressure regulator is foolish in my view. Even my stick house has one.

Yes, it's very common. Some mount them in the RV and some use them at the CG faucet to protect the hose.

I think many or most will use a pressure regulator of some type to manage the pressure. In some cases the park pressure is too high for the plastic plumbing.
