Recommended Pressure Regulation for Travel Trailers

Regulating the flow of water to a trailer can help preserve the plumbing.

Traveling the country with a travel trailer allows you to have the comforts of home available at any time or place. Pressure regulation is an important consideration for travel trailer owners, especially when it comes to water.

Function

Pressure regulators are adapters that control the flow of water into a plumbing system. A travel trailer will need water inputs when staying in RV parks, and each park can have a different level of water pressure.

Effects

Travel trailer plumbing systems should have a pressure regulator that has a limit of 45 pounds per square inch (psi). This will ensure the integrity of the plastic plumbing throughout the trailer.

Considerations

Another concern with water flowing into the a travel trailer's plumbing is the quality of the water. Many owners install a water filter, normally placed before the main trailer water connection, to ensure that the water that enters the trailer is clear and clean for necessities such as dish washing and showering.
