Water Pressure

**minnow101** · 05-02-2017, 02:08 PM

Just to add on about RV park water pressure; some campgrounds have a built in pressure reducer right on the spigot and if you screw yours onto the spigot, you'll have very low water pressure.

Awesome ! - getting it figured out is at times as easy as remembering what we did !

Yes, we found that last year at Mary's Lake in Estes Park, CO

What year 350m do you have?

2017. Purchased in November 2016. As you know there is no distinct date of switch from one year to the next as in the Auto industry. The RV business kinda drifts......

Yup, and I drifted to a March 2017 delivery...could have changed.

Hmm, seems to me that with two pressure regulators at work the water pressure will be at the lowest regulated pressure regardless of where it's at. For example if the park regulates pressure to 40 lbs, and the trailer had a regulator to 45 lbs, the pressure in the trailer will be 40 lbs excluding any other issues such as screwy kitchen faucet etc. if park pressure is regulated to 80 lbs and your regulated is 40 lbs, trailer pressure will be 40 lbs. don't think it's cumulative.

Can't explain the mechanics of it either, but have experienced the issue many time over the past 25 years

I think multiple pressure regulators and filters results in more flow restriction, but not necessarily more static pressure reduction. I put my pressure regulator at the water supply faucet but I have a pressure gauge at the water inlet to the trailer. I have seen a static pressure of 50 psi drop to 20 psi or less with the opening of one faucet inside the trailer. This is from excessive flow restriction somewhere in the supply.
