I may asking a stupid question here but I am not sure if the 09 Tuscany we bought has either or both a water filter and a water pressure regulator?
Hooked up at a park and used the regulator that was part of the "care" package but it seemed that I had low water pressure so either I had 2 regulators (one internal, one external) or the RV Park just had low pressure to begin with.
I do not see anything extrenally but these may be mounted behind the shroud. Does anyone know off hand if these come with them already?

Interesting since I just replaced the under counter filter in the kitchen yesterday...
The coach does not have a regulator (I have high pressure one purchased from CW) but it does have a FloPur filter mounted under the sink (ours was hidden away) that does a good job of filtering the water for drinking and cooking. But it does need to be replaced every 6 months or so or it slows down the water flow to almost a trickle (which is how I found it)....

I agree to the water here in La. Especially in Lafayette. Just can't trust it these days. I will have to check under my sink to see if I have one as well. Thanks everyone.

As everyone else has said, there is not pressure regulator installed on your coach. The only water filter is under the sink, be sure it is on to protect your icemaker! You can purchase a high flow regulator at CW which will give you more flow thru your faucets. I always hook up the regulator at the faucet so it will protect my hose and coach, learned this the hard way! I purchased a whole-house water filter at Lowe's and used a bungee cord to hold it in place in the corner of the water and sewer compartment, this takes care of the entire coach water supply and I have not noticed any reduction in flow.
