[QUOTE=RagingRobert;310012]I don't think the pressure has anything to do with it. Fittings can leak after a while with the travelling. Where is it leaking...at the crimp or the threaded part that screws onto the faucet? Probably just a bad connection. Pex tools are expensive. You'll need a crimp ring remover also. I would just cut the pipe next to the crimp ring and unscrew the fitting. Screw on the proper sharkbite fitting with some teflon tape to the faucet and push in the pex as JRTJH suggested. You should have some slack in the pipe to do this.[/QUOTE

Most pex fittings have a cone washer in them that don't require Teflon tape & hand tighten only.
Also by only partially opening the faucet you are reducing the flow not the pressure which is what the cheapo so called water regulator they probably gave you with your rv does also. A good quality regulator is recommended.
