Pressure regulator for "City Water" Hookup
Has anybody had an experience where city water pressure so high it damaged the RV plumbing? I am a newbie, but it sounds pretty far fetched. Does a pressure regulator provide weaker pressure under ...

A GOOD water pressure regulator will Hold/Maintain set pressure if supply pressure is higher and will allow all the supply pressure if it is lower then reg set point
YES, have seen CG supply pressures as high as 120#...........which can cause fittings to leak
A GOOD regulator is a WATTS Adjustable Regulator with pressure gauge
Set it for 50# (Static--no flow)
OR even better is to fill fresh water tank and use the pump.
Constant pressure/flow
Easy to turn OFF when you go to bed, go outside or leave CG vs having to valve out CG spigot
Use to connect to city water all the time when available until a cracked fitting broke during night while sleeping...water ran for HOURS.FLOODED 5th wheel $60000 in repairs/costs (was using a WATTS Regulator)
Since then (2008) fresh water tank/pump ONLY
