As a nuCamp RV owner, it’s important to understand the role of a water pressure regulator in maintaining your RV’s plumbing system. Whether you're staying at a campsite or connecting to city water at home, a pressure regulator helps protect your unit’s water system from damage caused by excessive pressure.

Why You Need a Water Pressure Regulator

When you connect to city water, the water pressure can vary significantly. In many areas, the pressure can be too high for the delicate PEX lines and connections used in your RV. Without a regulator, water pressure could exceed the 40-50 psi range that is ideal for RV plumbing systems, leading to potential issues like:

• Leaking connections
• Burst PEX lines
• Expensive and time-consuming repairs

To prevent this, every nuCamp RV is shipped with a pressure regulator designed to maintain water pressure between 40 and 50 psi. This ensures that your RV's plumbing system remains intact, and you won’t face costly repairs down the line.

How to Use the Water Pressure Regulator

Whenever you're connecting to city water—whether at a campground or at home—make sure to attach the pressure regulator to your water supply. Simply connect the regulator to the city water inlet on your RV, then hook up your hose to the regulator. This will keep the pressure at a safe level and protect your system from over-pressurization.

When to Use the Regulator

Always use the water pressure regulator when connecting to city water, especially when traveling or camping. It’s essential for protecting your plumbing, as the pressure at some campgrounds or in some locations can be significantly higher than recommended.

Conclusion

In summary, using the water pressure regulator included with your nuCamp RV is crucial to ensuring the longevity of your plumbing system. By regulating the water pressure, you protect your PEX lines and connections from the risk of damage caused by excess pressure. Always remember to use the regulator whenever you're hooked up to city water, and your RV’s plumbing will remain in excellent condition for years to come.
