My husband, J.D., says 50 psi. We did have just the basic ShurFlo in our BH and I was continually complaining about the poor water pressure (19 psi). Recently had it switched out to ShurFlo High Pressure, two stage unit and now we can get up to 50 psi and life is so much sweeter!

Here is one that seems to answer what you are looking for. http://www.rvwaterfilterstore.com/images/WattsH560wGauge.jpg This next link gives several (including this one) and prices. http://www.rvwaterfilterstore.com/PressureRegulators.htm As far as pressure is concerned, I have run mine as high as 60 psi with no problems. At 50, you should be very safe.

Two Hands, I have the exact problem with the kitchen faucet as you describe. I have the Shur-Flo high pressure pump. The bathroom faucet is fine, the shower is fine, the toilet is fine - just the kitchen faucet.
I wonder if there is a plumbing problem in the line to the faucet or something within the faucet itself. I checked the screen on the nozzel end and no debris there.
Any help anyone ???? Thanks !

Gary & Two Hands,
Does your unit have a manifold that might be turned off just enough to cause this? Just a thought!

Ken,
Good thought. I'll have to crawl in there and have good look. Hope it's that simple.
Thanks, Gary

Turned out to be a faulty faucet. Replaced with a new one and all is well.

Niles, we had the dealer do it, since we were on the road and passing by his location anyway. It was difficult to remove large "nut" under the sink - with 1 person holding the nut below and another turning the faucet base from above. Once that was off, the rest was easy.
I don't know why the large nut was so difficult to remove as the coach is only 2 months old - hopefully, yours will turn easier.

Kitchen Sink pressure problem
We had the same problem, took it to dealer, they figured it out after much diagnosis. Good pressure when using pump, bad when on city. Turned out a small metal shaving had made its way to the faucet, a restricter is located somewhere in the flexible line that pulls out from faucet. When the lower pump pressure was used it did not press so hard on the debris, and actually had adequate pressure. But when you put full city pressure (40lb regulator) it pushed harder on the debris and restricted flow. They cleaned that out and now it works perfect! Very difficult to diagnose because you would think if you have good pump pressure, you would have good city pressure.

My dealer installed a water filter in the shore water in-line. This filter caused a significant pressure drop. When I used a pressure regulator on the hose entering the system (45 psi regulator) the pressure after the filter would not operate the kitchen sink. I re-plumbed the filter so that the pressure regulator was after the filter and now the kitchen faucet works OK.
