The owners manual for my 2004 Tropical says that it has a built in water pressure regulator. There is a very long thread on the last iRV2 newsletter where folks are discussing after market regulators. I mentioned there that mine was built in and basically asked if I still needed an after market regulator. There’s not one post where someone says, “mine has a built in regulator also”.

Do any of you National owners have them built in?

Yes, it's part of the city water inlet. Originally it was regulated to 50 psi, when I replaced mine the best direct replacement was 55psi. I still use a high flow regulator at the hose connection if I suspect the park has high pressure.

I believe all National RV's had them but on mine I couldn't get the water flow I wanted so I eliminated it and use a 3/4" whole house pressure regulator and put it on the camp ground water outlet. This way it keeps the pressure off my hose.

How do you find this regulator? I would like to eliminate mine also. Thanks for any help.

I bought mine from a hardware store along with the fittings to adapt it to the hoses but if you look on Amazon.com under rv water pressure regulators they have them from Camco for abought $25.
