Boosting Low City Water Pressure in an RV

[ruflif]

Does anyone have ideas for an supplemental system to help with low pressure city water?

You can find small pre-pressurized storage tanks in various sizes specifically made for RV’s, boats, off grid cabins, etc on amazon

Use your freshwater tank and your water pump.

Agree 100%. We never leave the water connected under pressure to the "city water" (shore water) supply. We always fill our fresh water tank and use the on-board pump. Doing so solves a LOT of issues. No fear of over-pressure, and if a leak occurs, you hear the water pump activate immediately. Water pressure is always the same at each faucet. And, it helps monitor the actual usage of water. When the fresh water tank get's low, it's always time to dump the black and grey. No overfilling any of the black and grey tanks.

Some say don’t do it. The pressure between the two can be too much and cause a break in the lines.

Your pump will never run if you are connected to the city water connection. A pressure vessel will not help you either, you will only get as much pressure as the city connection provides.

Do what Dutch says. Fill your fresh water tank and put the hose away. Use your onboard pump and refill your tank as needed.
