Does one really have to worry about the rv water hose
:bursting?
:Pete

In reality, Pete? No, not unless it's old and weathered, worn out and
one like that should be replaced anyway. The regulators from Marshall
Brass are set at 40 psi if I'm not mistaken. Our copper pipes were made
from "household supplies" back then. The pressure regulator is set to
80 psi, if I'm correct. So, ........ I don't worry about a hose or the
copper household grade plumbing. Now, *if* I have plastic piping that's
another ball game I know nothing about.

I also carry spare parts to rebuild a hose should it break on a trip. I
think that costs me about $5 or so. Now that's cheap insurance.
