My wife is adding some inexpensive touches that make it feel more ours

We need to order a few more sheets.

I will get the cowling off, but not yet. It didn’t remove easily after opening the four latches. Research before my curiosity does something stupid. Got the console off pretty smoothly though!

It may just be that the seal is robust and tightly fitted but I agree, be sure, before you go yanking on it too much.

My first plumbing setup and test out is pretty exciting for a 60 year old with a new toy.

I need a 90 for the potable and a gallon meter for the black tank flush so I don’t overfill.

Adjusting the pressure regulator should be done with the water flowing or not flowing?

At dump sites, there won't usually be potable water, so you won't be using your full water rig there.

Pressures are different. A counter is a good idea but set a timer on your phone too, just in case you get distracted. It isn't nice, what happens if you over fill. We were thiiiis close, once.

Copy. With a 90 I can close the bay door. If I can’t flush, I can fill it up pretty good and let it fly. Water is my friend…until it isn’t lol

I mentioned it before, but I bought this for incoming power.

Yes, but how do I set the limit with an adjustable regulator?

Water on at the hydrant but no faucet open in the camper.

Purge the air in all the fixtures first.

Check the PSI rating on your pump and set the regulator to that, or -5 ish. Just no higher.

There are weeds to get lost in, if you want to. Temps can increase pressure way above that but the above is what I do.

A good habit to get into, is to turn off the incoming water, anytime you leave the rig for long. Hike, bike ride etc. That way, if a leak happens, it only happens when you're there to deal with it. And I relieve camper pressure, just before close it up for a travel day. Just crack a faucet for a second.

Looks like 45 psi?

 

[Samson16]

It’s behind an access panel in a compartment on the camp side. The blue pipe going into a tank is my black tank flush I think

Yep. Set the regulator for 45.

That would be my bet but you'll be able to hear it, easily.
