Hey I attached my regulator at the camper and not before the filter and hose and wouldn't you know it, I had VERY LOW to no pressure in the camper. You might be asking yourself why this would make any difference. Well, when I went to see what was going on, I noticed that there was a nice stream flowing from behind my camper up the road a piece and there were kids playing in it with rafts and inner tubes, guys were fly fishing from their campers, and ducks were bobbin' for fish.

The pressure was so high at this campground that the little hose piece that came with my water filter had blown apart at the faucet. I had the faucet wide open (something else I won't do anymore) so the amount of water that had been leaking for SEVERAL hours appeared to be quite amusing to some folks who didn't bother to tell me I had a problem.

So from my vantage point, I can no longer say that it's a matter of preference and that is exaclty what I believed before. Oh, and by the way, I did read on my water filter label that I wasn't supposed to exceed something like 60PSI.

So if you see something odd going on with another camper's setup you may want to go over and just say something and he/she may say .
