About the Splendid washing machine problem. If you think the problem is water pressure, then fill your fresh water tank, turn off shore water, and turn on your on-board water pump. The water pump is set to the proper pressure. If the washing machine responds correctly with the water pump / fresh water tank, the problem is low water pressure and your water pressure regulator is probably the problem

For what it's worth .... WHENEVER you have any water issues, always disconnect the water hose and try running water with your water pump and fresh water tank. Why? Because you can hear the pump running (or not running) if there are ever any leaks or problems. An attached garden hose can pass a hundreds of gallons of water through your system, flooding your underbelly and doing a lot of damage before you even know there is a problem. If you run your on-board water pump, the water pressure will always be the same, never have worry about water pressure differences wherever you go, and if you spring a leak, you can hear the water pump running, alerting you water is running somewhere, and you know everything SHOULD be turned off. It takes only 3 ounces of water to turn the on-board water pump on and off. That's enough to alert you you have a problem and 3 ounces spilled on the floor won't hurt anything. On the other hand, being attached to city water, you never hear the water running. You can easily run 300-1000 gallons of water and never know you have a leak, until water is running under your feet, and you are in bed!
