My 2020 Thor Coleman 23CM class C leaks water on the bath room floor every time I do not use a water regular. At one location water pressure cuts off at 60 psi. One would think that's not to high but it leaks. It takes about 12 to 24 hours then leaks around plumbing fittings again. Most all of them in bathroom and probably the whole coach not good. Then I install a water regulator Camco 40 to 50 PSI and no water leaks but very low water flow in shower. Not enough flow to use. My question is the little metal rings on plumbing tubing that has two little ears on each side do these need to be replaced with better fittings ? Why does shower have low water flow when on regular and pump works fine ? I changed water filter and still does the same thing. I thought the filter was stopped up but its full flow. This one has been a puzzle.
 
I found a water saver apparatus in the shower faucet fixture. A 3/16 hole in it for water to pass thru, no wonder I cant get the soap out of what little hair I have. I took it out and turned on shower fixture then found another hole at top of fixture when it squirted me in the face after taking out the plastic piece with the hole in it that was made so you could not take it out. I put a screw in the hole at top to plug it and it seems to work with the regulator now and has ok water flow. I think I have one more problem solved.
 
If you have good water pressure and flow with the pump but low on city water, make sure the screen and any inline regulator are clean on the input
