We bought a pressure gauge to put at the campground faucet and discovered some pretty interesting data.  In one campground we were in the PSI at the faucet was only 25PS most however or in the 35 to 40 PSI range.  How to get decent pressure if you don't have it at the campground faucet

Yesterday my Shurflo 65psi water inlet was installed.  Old one was a 50psi Shurflo.  It's in the garbage!  I am getting 100% improvement in water flow within coach.  

I showered this morning and enjoyed a good spray without having to run water pump.  My kitchen sink performs a lot better.  Well worth the $30 price tag.  I've noticed that Amazon has increased the price, however, by 10% over the $30 I paid last week.

I will add that I have an adjustable water pressure limiter with gauge on the city water source and set at 61-62 psi.  The park's water is high pressure and registers the full 61-62 psi on the gauge, but would be a lot more if not for the pressure limiter device I have.

Hi Bob
Is that both Hot & cold water?
Do you have more pressure while using the water pump?

Orman we did seem to have more pressure with the pump.  We are dry camping now and have plenty of pressure with the pump.  I have not hooked up to city water since changing to the 65 psi inlet.  But both hot and cold seemed the same.
