Nice write up. We've been RV owners for so long now, and been using all all our campers over the years almost full time, it's interesting to read how someone new to it all learns and grows. So, thanks for you post.

To add a bit from my own experiences? Water pressure regulators? There are those who live by them, and those who run from them. I'm in the group that runs from them, for the very reason you stated above. Even the best of them is subject to failure. For this reason I never hook up to my garden hose and leave the spigot open. I always fill my fresh water tank and use the on board water pump. Never have to worry or even think about water pressure this way. It also helps us be keenly aware of our water usage, which also clues us when it's time to dump holding tanks. Because, even if you are on full hook-up site, you never want to leave your holding tank valves open all the time, especially the black tank. You let them fill, then dump them.

Just a suggestion, something to think about.
