Does anyone use a water pressure regulator on their Hi-Lo? If so, what type of pressure do you run?

We use just a standard brass one that has no pressure adjustment. I don't know what pressure it is supposed to be set to. If I had an adjustable one I think I would put at about 30 to 40 pounds.

Hey Rich, thanks for the reply. I'm going to see what Lowes has to offer and I think you are about right on the 30-40 psi. My wife and I were just at J & R trailer repair this week and forgot to ask them. Getting all ready for our trip out to the West Coast. Did a dry run using our new McKesh mirrors, on our trip to J & R and really love them. Worked great on our Tacoma

Tom,

We use a pre-set hi-flow rate pressure regulator that is set to 50 psi.

That sounds about right. I saw an adjustable one on Tweetys.com that is preset at 45 psi. I'm used to country well water pressure that varies from 30 to 50 psi. 50 psi is high enough. I don't know what RV water systems are designed for and I'm not about to experiment to find out.

The one I bought at Camping World has a gauge with it. With the regulator on, the pressure in the hose is 40-45 PSI. As I posted in another thread, with the regulator off, the pressure at our house was 80 PSI.

The water lines in my HiLo are rated at 100 PSI. I don't think it would be wise to hook up to city water without a regulator.

Thanks for all of the information. So, do you install it at the camper then run your hose to water supply or hook it up at the water supply, then hose to trailer?

We install it where the hose connects to the trailer. We find that is easier to make the connection.

You should try to hook it up at the water supply to take pressure off the hose.
