I just purchased a 2012 class a motorhome and was wondering if a 40 psi water regulator is required as in a travel trailer.

It's not the PRX tubing that fails or leaks...It's almost always a fitting, faucet or valve that lets go.

I'd definitely use a water pressure reg. Ours is adjustable and set at a conservative 4psi...plenty of pressure for our use.

I have an adjustable regulator that I have set to 60 psi. Modern motorhomes are set up to run 60 for the most part. If you are in doubt, contact the tech department of the mfg or post the details of your coach so someone who has the same brand can be of help. I can speak for Tiffin and Southwind ('04) but have no idea about other manufacturer's specs.

Hi,

I still use my regulator-and wish to upgrade it.

The newer RVs can take higher pressure with Pex tubing but I still use a 45 lb regulator

Suggested? Yes definitely?
