Where ever we are, IF the water pressure is 55psi, we get that much or anything available up to that amount.
On our own lot here on Cudjoe Key, the water pressure is never above 35psi so I don't use the regulator (which I think helps a little with the flow rate) Not sure about that.

Here is a picture of my wet bay. It shows my Pressure regulator set for 65 PSI with a quick disconnect, a 100w light bulb connected to the yellow green house thermostat, and my auto-transformer.

Thanks,

Alex, as Smoke said, Home Depot in the underground sprinkler area of the plumbing supplies. You will have to buy some 3/4" hose fittings to adapt it to work with your water hose. You can also buy a pressure guage that will fit on a Y. One side to the hose to the fifth wheel and the gauge on the other side. Use this to adjust the regulator to the pressure you want. Usually around 45 to 55 psi will work fine.

On our 07 Classic just behind the Hose Reel compartment is a brass one way valve that I believe is also a pressure regulator it was installed by the factory and seems to work as have never had any pressure or flow type problems.
