Would this work with camper with just water hose running into camper water supply? Would the pressure be a problem?

I don't think the water pressure is an issue , but the amount of amperage might be . The ks-94 can draw more than 45 amps. Most campers peak at 30-50 amps .

I believe that your rig will work, due to the pressure differential, which is what makes the unit come on. You'll have to play with flow and pressure until you hit the right combination. As water gets colder coming in, you need to ramp up the cutoff points. Some pdroblems aren't directly due to a bad unit;it's just the physics involved.

Should be no problem. I find it works like a regular hose....same pressure etc.

No this is simply an extension hose to use if you need a little more length. Hook this hose to your camper and then your other hose will attach to this one.

I use it for pumping water into 55 gallon food grade barrels and then when need into my campers holding tank. actually as pump for my campers water system-no i think it would work but you would need a pressure switch to activate. i don't believe its as durable a water pumps that are designed for campers . but i'm sure it would work. I hope i answered your question. jerry m

I am not sure. You probably would have problems because it operates on a water hose..and pressure. We use it on our motorhome between water hook-up and unit..outside.

I have mine in a fifth wheel camper. It is plumbed directly in to the shower. Provides basically unlimited hot water. I just plug it in when I get to a campground and it's good to go in an hour or so.

Not if you hook it to the pressure side of your onboard RV demand water pump as it will provide water supply to the heater. Make sure the water heater is full of water before you turn it on or you will burn out the heating element in the heater.

the pressure will not reduce unless the capacity of the pump is not sufficient. most of the time these pumps are way more efficient than the size of the hose so I wouldn't worry about it

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

Mine was put on permanent camper. Never had an issue. As long as there is fluid at the pump it will pump

I'm sorry we don't know for sure. We installed it last year after the original would not stop dripping and threw everything away. We installed on our 1995 Fleetwood 31 ft travel trailer and is compatible with full hookup at the campgrounds. Our water pressure is perfect. Hope this helps you :-)

For my set up its a remote cabin. I have a 12V RV water pump to pressurize. I understood it needs a minimum pressure to operate. My pump is set at 40 lbs. Works fine for the shower and sink. Good luck, I'm happy with mine

You can use a 12 volt pump like you would find on a camper. We have a popup camper that I use this with and the camper has a 12 volt pump that pumps water from a holding tank to the heater. The only problem with pumps is that it's best to also hook up a small accumulator tank (like a shurflow model) to smooth out the water flow from the pump to the heater.

Not sure George but when running at full pressure the hose is pretty stiff. This thing has plenty of power and would do a great job but not sure if the hose would handle that type of work. Maybe you should contact Simpson and see if they make a kit for that or can steer you in the right direction. Bob

Yes. It operates on a simple principle, pressure from the desired direction passes through while pressure from the opposite direction is blocked and will often activate a release causing "backflow" water to be drained off. Note: If, for example, a hose is attached that has a nozzle at the opposite end, that is closed, then the hose will pressurize and retain its pressure. If the faucet (with the back flow device installed) is turned off, the pressure will remain in the hose until the nozzle is slightly opened (or a connection is loosened) then the internal valve will release the hose pressure through the relief 'vents' in the back flow preventer. This device meets building requirements in many localities where a back flow preventer is required on outdoor water faucets. I use mine with an RV, so that water from the RV side does not enter the city water source side of the valve.

I made the attempt but it doesn't work very well at all not enough water flow for the pressure washer. I ended up connecting the regular hose and it worked fine with it. I do use the pocket hose for watering plants outdoors and washing the vehicle. I like that it will not kink and it's easy to maneuver around with it being so lightweight.

yes - we use a 12 volt pump when camping. But not with this - it leaked after one use. I would not recommend it.
