The pressure regulators aren't a "modification" but are devices that are
screwed onto the van's water inlet then the hose screws onto that.  They
must be removed and stowed when not in use.

The cheap ones are made of plastic but I opted for a brass one.  They
can even be found in the camping sections of Wal*Marts.

Remember, too, that the standard westy faucet has 3 positions.  One way
actuates the switch for the onboard water pump ... center is off ... the
other way selects the city water inlet.
