Yeah, guess I should have said "not obvious to me". The one that really fooled me was the one that is built into the flanged hose receptacle that goes thru the side of the MH or trailer.

If you have a "Hidden" regulator, it is the city water inlet.
I have two regulators. Normally I use only one but here in SC the pressure has been known to hit over 100 PSI, that's a bit much (Summers I'm on pumps and those are set to a much lower pressure)
The first regulator is a Watts, 3/4" set to around 65 PSI. it protects the hose and filiters. The 2nd regulator is a Sur-Flo "in-line" unit, it is factory set and not adjustable (I think 50 PSI) it protects the motor home.
This is identical to the city water inlet type.. The Only difference is this. The inlet type has some kind of "Bib" behind the female connector (The mounting flange) and the in-line type has a male hose adapter screwed on the outlet of the regulator.

That is all I have - a city water inlet. It feeds the water system and fills the fresh water tank using valves inside the coach. On the other side of the compartment wall from the city inlet was the "hidden water regulator". It was a preset 45 psi regulator and also acted as a anti-backflow valve which kept the water from flowing out of the system when not hooked up to the fresh water hose. Was located on the other wall inside a plastic utility housing. I removed the internal regulator and replaced it with a Watts 263A which I located on the accessible side of the city water inlet.
