I took off the pressure regulator and now I have great pressure and it doesn't seem to be to much on the water lines. Should that be okay?

There is your answer. A cheapo pressure regulator. Get a good one. The WATTS recommended above is excellent! Highly recommended.

Solved our problem. Also as other mentioned check screens, check for leaks - and one thing not mentioned is if you have a water mixer on the hot water tank it could cause problems if bad. Had that problem too.

Depends, hopefully you do not receive a surge of water. I would definitely not go without a regulator or some way of checking the water pressure.

I have a water pressure reducer where my hose connects to the camper. It keeps it between 35-45 psi

CG water source strong.........weak pressure inside rv.

First place to check.......screen washer at hose connection.

Are you using one of those cheap pressure reducers at your water hookup?

Our last trailer had a small plastic insert in the tap that reduced the water pressure down from the size of the tubing to a hole the size of a pencil lead. It looked like a miniature Charlie Chaplin hat with a hole in the middle. I removed it and had plenty of pressure.

If the previous owner didn't use a water filter from the campground water to the rig, then you might could have some sediment in there, depending on the water source (well type). Sediment can get in and clog up stuff and damage things. My neighbor loss a clothes washer after about a year or two of moving in. We loss one after about 4 years. We are both on well and didn't realize the need for a whole filter. We didn't know about their predicament until after we had ours and mentioned it to them.

Spot on. I too had low pressure in my kitchen sink. I unscrewed the tip, removed the filter and found minute particles of dirt. Rinsed, replaced and voila!

Okay great I'll check that thank you!

Okay and what about a filter? Is there a hidden one somewhere I need to change ?
