Expert Answers about RV Water Pressure Regulator

• Does Valterra RV Water Pressure Regulator and Gauge Actually Regulate Water Pressure
• The Valterra RV Water Pressure Regulator and Gauge for RVs # A01-1124VP does actually regulate the water pressure to 40-50 psi to help protect your RV system just like you're wanting. Unfortuantely I can't really speak to a review from 8 years ago, but I can say that we have been told by Valterra this regulates the pressure and you can see it reflected in the reviews of this product on our site.

• How Do You Know If You Need A Water Regulator Going To Your Motorhome or Trailer?
• The Valterra Water Regulator for RVs # A01-1120VP helps reduce high pressure water supplies down to a usable pressure for your RV. Most RV's are designed for water at a certain pressure, so having a water pressure beyond what your RV is designed for can lead to burst pipes, leaky fittings, and compromised appliances. Some RV parks use water pressure that is unregulated and some systems can have up to 115 psi which can cause serious problems for your RV. I recommend you control the...

• Is the Camco RV Water Pressure Regulator With Gauge Adjustable
• I spoke with Camco and the Water Pressure Regulator with Gauge, # CAM40064, is not adjustable. She told me this regulator can regulate water pressure from up to 60 psi down to 50 psi. She also said they have tested it up to 125 psi with some success, but if the incoming water pressure exceeds 60 psi, this regulator may not be able to regulate properly. If the gauge reads too high then either the pressure on the water source needs to be lowered or the gauge or regulator is bad. According...

• Can a Single Stage Propane Regulator Be Used In Place of a Dual Stage
• The MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane Regulator part # 108072 can be used in place of a dual stage regulator so long as the fittings on the end of the leader hose are the same which they should be. I am not sure what you mean by, "Can I swap these out and then have the regulator on the stove come into play" but you only need to have one regulator running from the propane supply to the accessory assuming it reduces the pressure to the correct water column (W.C.) count and has the correct BTU...

• Where Does the Water Regulator Get Installed On a Camper
• The Valterra High Flow Water Regulator part # A01-1122VP will need to be installed on the city water inlet, on the exterior of the camper. This would be the only location that could protect the plumbing inside your camper. That said, I recommend you go with the Valterra Water Regulator and Pressure Gauge part # A01-1124VP which has an easy to read gauge instead.
