Valterra Water Regulator A01-1114VP
This water regulator is set to deliver 50-55 psi rather than the more standard 40-50 psi, just a slight increase but an increase none the less. Has anyone used these and have an opinion on it? Note ...

50-55 PSI should be OK in a 2014 Winne. Pex is used now and is good for that pressure and more. I took a pressure reading from my pump when rig was new (2008) and got 53 PSI and good flow.
If you are using a filter (screen) type washer on your water inlet check it for blockage. The full house filter too. Also, shut off valves and "Y" fittings on your hose can restrict the flow.(small hole in ball valve) The inlet check valve can be a problem. (Even on a new rig. Winne uses plastic valves)
I have seen people using shut off and "Y" fittings, hose filter, screen washer and full house filter and getting almost no flow. Remember, pressure and flow are not the same. Restrictions in your line will reduce flow but not pressure (When water is not being used, pressure will build up to whatever city or RV park is set at.) That is why we all use regulators. I have seen RV park pressure as high as 160 PSI.
