I use a watts low loss regulator with a gauge right at the entrance to the RV, that way I always have as much pressure as the campground system has and no more.

Just to follow up. Got a fresh gauge today and dead headed it into the water bib. A good solid 80psi. No wonder it felt so good at the sinks and shower!!! We're back to the programmed 57 psi and things are good.
Seems like we are having a lot of things failing (like this pressure gauge) on a daily basis nowadays....but many of the things failing are becoming "of age"! So guess it's part of the deal. Gotta stay on it "like a rooster on a june bug"!!!   rockin'

Chief,
I like that expression about "sized orifices". I've met some who are XL on that measurement.

Out of every adversity, something good happens. Today was my periodical WH flush maintenance. The 80 psi came really handy on the flush job. Almost like using a power washer!!!!
Doc, you'd loved seeing me wet from head to toe!  rockin'

I think looking at Rockin' is a wet tee shirt could be classified as "cruel and unusual"
punishment....
