When he turned it on it must've kicked on a pump! Mucho expensivo! I hate when things aren't labled correctly. We had a pipe burst at my plant that carried hydrochloric acid that wasn't placarded correctly. Somebody got their head chewed off for that one!

I talked to an RVer who accidentally hooked up to a "special" standpipe that was for fighting forest fires and was running abnormally high PSI (but for some reason wasn't marked). 'Sploded every plumbing joint in his RV. THAT must've been an awesome mess. Scott: Apparently some campgrounds do have very new water systems.

That's a pretty well maintained city water system (or a new one)... The instructors in most of my Fire training classes say most city water pressures only hit about 80 at the best of times, but then again that's coming out of a 2 foot diameter hydrant pipe and not the narrower house pipes which will up the pressure a bit with constriction. Of course I'm used to the mind blowing power of 150-175 psi of 4 diesel pumps when I absolutely need to make a mess of water. Woo! 100psi!!!

They're nowhere near as cheap as the water pressure regulator, but they do the same kind of job, just for electricity instead of water. The electrical supplies at many camps are as varied as the water and it's not too hard to start blowing up various electrical appliances over time if you don't have a decent suppressor helping out. We use a 30 amp hardwired Surge Guard on ours... http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/30-amp-hard-wired-surge-guard/18540 Another useful bit that you won’t often find out about until it’s too late is some kind of surge suppressor for the electrical system.
