What an awesome trip that must have been. Love that part of the country.

Rather than do a death-defying get under the sink activity, why not pick up an adjustable water pressure unit with a guage built in. Can then change and moitor your pressure and adjust as needed. Handy accessory. Safe Travels.

We've had a similar problem with well supplied campgrounds where they have high pressure to get the water around the loop or out to the last site. Our leak occurs at the inside connection to the entry connector. Turning down the volume alleviates the problem. Getting in under the cabinet is on the to-do list--groan!

When we first went our with our 182G we didn't have a regulator and had some water leaking around the tap connectors to the back sink. I picked up gauge and it showed the pressure around 60 lbs. Picked up a regulator too and that has stopped any leaking. Not sure if the connections were a bit loose, but anything above 50 lbs seems to lead to some leaking.

For what it is worth, our dealer gave us a 40 psi regulator as part of the "starter kit" when we picked up the Pod.

I have a 40 psi pressure regulator. I stayed at one campground with average and one with high pressure. 40 psi was plenty.

As always you're all a font of information. Will up the pressure on my regulator. Heading to Big Sur next week which is the Calif. Redwoods area on the coast just below fabled Montery and Carmel. Magnificent to behold. Will be taking lots of pictures and hopefully will be able to download them to the forum. Thanks again. Safe Travels.

The pipes are all pex. That will take lots more pressure. I don't know what the pressure is the fixtures will take, but it will be lots more than the average camp ground water system.

Sooo. Increasing my pressure to the 50-70 lb range won't stress the internal plumbing. Thanks. Safe Travels.
