I bought Camco Brass RV Water-Pressure Regulator as part of my camper van equipment.
The Camco regulator is one of my water-system purchases. In the diary, I planned the water-tank openings before adding the floor and wall finishes around the system.
Water-Supply Controls and the Space They Occupy
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
My interior plan put the external openings and tank locations ahead of enclosure. The Camco regulator purchase is a compact inline fitting within that larger layout. Both alternatives add a gauge and adjustment control, creating a larger, more visible assembly at the supply connection; those are the meaningful physical differences here.

The 40055 is a compact inline regulator for an RV water-supply connection. Its brass body and hose-end connections make it a separate component from the hose, filter and tank filler. The exact-model retailer specification lists a 40–50 PSI regulation range. In a camper-van water kit, that model reference helps distinguish a fixed regulator from an adjustable unit with a gauge. Physical access matters when arranging several fittings at the supply point: each coupling still needs room to turn. The regulator controls supply pressure; it does not provide the storage function of a water tank or the screening function of a pump strainer.
The recorded 40055 is the compact brass inline regulator. It is separate from adjustable regulator-and-gauge assemblies.

Two Alternatives to Compare
RVGUARD and Renator add a pressure gauge and an adjustable regulator body. Those controls and the larger assembly distinguish them from the compact Camco inline fitting.
