Do the 2021 or 2022 Tabs have a built in water pressure regulator

    We have been using two water pressure regulators on our TAB 320 for over a year and have not had any issues. I tend to error on the side of redundant caution. I place a regulator on each end of the hose. Probably overkill, but I just don’t trust product quality control like I once did.

    I also prefer to regulate the pressure at the shore faucet, so the house and external connections are regulated, you get less dripping leaks this way, running down the camper side wall or in Nautilus panel.

    I think I will use a pressure regulator at the campground facet connection as well as the built-in.  Once again, I appreciate the discussion and exchange of ideas!

    We still would need to know what flow you get with two pressure regulators.

    I have a 2022 400BD received Nov 11, 2021 that appears to have the regulator (see my pics)Tabby Shack has a 2022 standard 400 she received in Jan-Feb and they don’t have one as noted in their post. Said they stopped mid production maybe because of supply issues.

    Thanks for all the responses.  This is all very good info.
    On the FB pages the last couple of days, there was one owner with  a built in regulator, on city water, with the "yellow flapper valve" dripping continuously.  Opened the valve a couple of times to drain the water and maybe clean any debris that might be stuck in the valve, but it still leaked.  Put a second pressure regulator onto the city water connection this afternoon, and the leak stopped.  Tomorrow, they will take the second regulator off and test the flapper valve again.

    On our first trip with our 2022 Tab 400 BD, we hooked up to city water without a pressure regulator and water came draining out 2 outlets at the back non-door side, hot and cold. We did this because this forum represented that there was a regulator built in. We went and bought a cheap regulator, hooked it up and turned on no draining water. So it seems to me that our 2022 does not have a suit in water pressure regulator

    @sandystab400 - nuCamp is known to make model changes.  Apparently they stopped installing the pressure regulators in the 2022 models.

    I just picked up my new 2022 320 S Boondock Thu and it had one in the welcome bag.

    Yeah my dealer gave me a water pressure regulator without realizing one was already built in. I didn’t have any issues when Boondocking and hooked up to my home and at a KOA. See my earlier comment regarding whether all 2022s have it built in behind the nautilus panel under the bed (some do and some don’t). If you determine you have one built in I wouldn’t use a second regulator. The shower pressure is already just barely enough both boondocking and hooked up. However I have yet to test this theory about shower pressure. I’ll keep u posted if I do. I do know pressure fluctuates between hot and cold in kitchen sink … and it’s also different than the shower hot cold. Maybe something to do with distance or number of elbows.

    I have a 2022 400 BD and I do have a built in regulator right at the city water inlet.

    Our Feb 2022-built Tab 320 does not have a built-in pressure regulator, even though that was supposed to be a change for the 2022 model year.  Some earlier ones have it.  The welcome kit from Nucamp included a cheap plastic Camco regulator in place of the built-in.  Maybe a supply problem, like so many other things in the new world economy.
