Its time to remove the pressure regulator due to it sometimes allowing great pressure, other times not so much, but I'm stumped on how to get it out. I have read previous threads talk about just cutting the water line but is there another way? Removing the white panel seems like a huge pain involving taking the compartment hinges and compartment door off. Anyone have a better way?

Thanks in advance

You didn't mention which coach or where the pressure regulator is. My compartment is a little different set up, but I can get my white plastic walls out. It's a pain, but do-able. Shower has to be disconnected, tank fill valve has to be loosened. Looks like you have a light that needs to be disconnected as well.
My pressure regulator is a portable one and I put it on the campground side of the hose.

Opps, sorry about that... 2003 Dynasty. I'm guessing the regulator is behind the white panel where the hose bib is.

The PEX pipe that the hose bib is connected to is accessible higher up before it takes a 90 degree elbow so I can see how someone might cut the PEX before the elbow and redo the incoming line, just wondering what others have done in more detail.

Just a thought, could you cut a hole in the plastic above where it's labeled "waste drain" and install a access cap? there is one in the bottom of your picture, where you would run the sewer line out the bottom. Available at West Marine and other places. You could reach in and possibly do any work needed then just screw the cap back on.

I have a 2005 Dynasty and have been behind that panel, no regulator there, maybe you don't have one, that would cause that hgh pressure, just get one and connect it to the supply hose bib

Mine is on the end of the hose, little water pressure the water pump is better pressure but afraid to remove it.

Your connected rubber inlet hose is screwed into the pressure regulator which is partially sticking out under the white panel attached to the inlet screw on the short hose connector fully in view (city water connection). I was going to take mine off and put an adjustable regulator on but put a gauge on the outlet valve and pressure was preset at 45#. Changed mind not seeing a need for an adjustable regulator plus I could not tell exactly how the pressure regulator unscrewed.
