We also have an adjustable regulator but bought ours at Camping World. I experimented and ended up setting it at 57 psi. That's plenty for a good shower. However, you tend to run out of hot water more quickly because we do use the higher pressure. The biggest reason I settle on 57 is anything higher than that caused the toilet to splash the flush water out of the bowl when you step on the pedal. At the moment I'm not using our adjustable. Periodically it gets crudded up and I have to take it apart to clean it out. With the standard regulators you just throw it away and buy another but the adjustables are not cheap so you clean them out. I just haven't got around to cleaning it out yet this time. About twice per year (fulltiming) I have to clean it out. Also keep in mind some parks won't have enough native pressure to reach that 57 psi. But we've also had a number with pressure over 100 psi so I feel a regulator is mandantory, for us anyhow.
