Water pressure regulator

[Pete Masterson]

My coach has an outside water faucet (one like a kitchen sink). I
swapped a threaded end on it (so it's more like a laundry tub faucet)
and I have a water pressure gauge with a hose-thread. I put it on the
faucet to check the pressure. I usually get about 40 psi when
connected to shore water and 65 psi (the rated pressure) from the
variable speed pump.
