I only turn on the faucet a quarter turn, but the faucet is next to the 2 year old grandson's yard toy bin. He is fascinated by the hookups that cross the back yard.

Hey Sis!
Pressure in a pipe without water running is the same with the faucet slightly open or fully open. Physics 101.
I use a Watts unit. Not cheap but fully effective.
Hi to the kids!

It will work at either end. In fact if you want to protect your RV hose from over pressure then putting your regulator at the tap is better for the equipment.


Oops should have read the rest of the posts before responding.

Good morning mutants. My cousin is coming out to visit today. We will see our friends on the 3rd - and have changed plans to stay here at Sunflower for a week. We got our stay in Eloy changed to come in 2 days early so all is grand on the rainbow.

My cousin hurt his foot so no fishing - and the park we are in is actually closer to his house than the lake. So that works to our advantage too.

One downside to this park is Air Force fly overs - but takes me back to my youth. There was no sign of them since we checked in Wed. But they have been burning up the fuel this morning.

Have a great day mutants!

He is always supervised and he's told repeatedly not to play with the hose and powercord, but he's a very active 2 year old. Luckily both ends of the power line is behind a locked door and I fashioned a protective box over the point where the extension cord connects. What I worry about is him turning the water faucet on too high and blowing another water hose.

Say howdy to yer kin for us. Glad youse got hooked up again.
Yuma has some jet jockeys that noise it up during the day. At the Arizona Marketplace you can see their faces as they land with open canopies. I salute em!
Happy Trails Bro and Sis

Wow, I had a problem, but not like that video! I read up that by irritating them over and over with water they move on! I did and they did! Hum ha Wayne

Barb I often connect a y connection at the water supply hose bib, then place my pressure regulator on one side and attach my MH supply line to it. The other side of the y I attach a water hose for washing car, MH or spray anything that bothers me! Hum, ha Wayne
Also as Dave said before, pressure remains the same regardless of how much you turn on the faucet. It just takes a little longer to reach that pressure when slightly opened.

Woot! I bet there was some guffaws happening there, Bro!
We have "caught up" (well, kinda) with several friends and relatives we also had not seen for what seems like eons. Grand times fer sher, and all due to this lifestyle.
We are off to Yuma in the AM. +10 warmer at nite. More tweeks and upgrades to Gwen will happen there.
So, STMs, how many of you had a phone like this? Our "ring" was two longs and a short. And, yes, EVERYONE listened in. The wagging tongues of idle gossip were rampant even then! My Gramma would seed their brains with a few half-truths!

The "swimming pool" POS awning will be augmented with something useful: a regular awning on the PS front slide. Some LED upgrades to fluorescents, a new door handle, etc. nothing $ breaking. Just nifty stuff!
