We have a cheap shower head and have to turn the faucets down for a comfortable shower. Too much pressure if anything.

We also switched over to the Oxygenics shower head .. and later bought the shower head hold for it .. perfect match .. we have a 10 gallon water heater .. I take a nice long shower, don't run out of hot water AND can get all the soap out of my hair.

X2. A very decent Watts PRV is available at Home Depot for $24.99. The difference is astounding.
A quick test would be to compare running water flow hooked up to the CG faucet, then turn the CG faucet off and turn on your water pump. If the pressure and flow is better with the pump, try getting a Watts regulator instead of the little brass one.. The flow will be improved. The Watts is adjustable also, but don't get carried away. Too much pressure will result in a burst pipe in your trailer.. Not a fun thing. Also make sure you have a good white FW hose.. Larger ones are better than smaller diameter ones.
If the CG water pressure is simply low, turn on your pump when you take a shower, just make sure that there is water in your FW tank.
I bought the Oxygenics white shower head at CW today(6/11) for the internet only price of $22.99 with Presidents Club discount--less than $25 out the door even in California. I installed it easily and we look forward to the 'shower test' this weekend.

actually, if I might ask...any ideas why the kitchen sink would have low water pressure, but not elsewhere? We just spent our first weekend in the new tt and noticed the kitchen faucet pressure was much lower then elsewhere....never had this issue with our HTT we traded in. Ideas? The campground pressure was fine..we camp there all the time w/o problems.

Thanks to you guys I just spend $35.00 to order the shower head from CW. The $9.00 shipping and a couple of dollars tax is still better than driving 25 miles to my CW. I hope y'all know what you are talking about.
