first time rv'er sort of
hello all, again. I'm new at this forum stuff too. Just bought a new toy hauler, so I thought I ought to read into some of these forums to if I could learn some tricks, and I'm amazed. For years, my only tow vehicle was a motorcycle and whatever we could sqeeze into a coleman trailer. I never had to worry about alot of the things I've been reading here. I can see I'm gonna have to start a new list.

You should use a regulator, it will prevent damage if you come across a campground that has a higher than normal pressure. I am not familiar with your TT. Is it a 50 amp unit? If so some campgrounds only provide 30 amp service so you would need an adapter.

No, it's a 30amp but I was thinking what if the camp ground only had 50 service? would I need an adaptor?

When you first get a camper, there are a ton of things to buy! There are a lot of things you need, things you should get, and of course hue never ending list of things you want.
Yes, a water regulator is high on the need/should list. Some campgrounds have ridiculously high water pressure rates that can damage your internal plumbing fittings because the fixtures RV manufacturers use are generally low end.
A 50-amp to 30-amp adapter is fairly high on the should have list. You may often find yourself camped at a 30amp site and need to be able to plug in. Even if you generally camp at RV Resort-types of places; you'll find that 50amp isn't always available. Of course, as was mentioned, this assumes that you have a 50amp camper.

If they have 50 they will have 30. However all campgrounds won't have 50, so you would need to adapt too 30.

Believe it or not, there are a couple of oddball campgrounds that are 50amp only. FRF member youroo has posted about a couple. But, they're rare enough that I wouldn't buy an adapter.
The other time I've seen people get them is for times that the 30amp plug looks worn out or they want to get tricky with their plug-ins at the campground. But again, that's not often. I'd wait until I needed it to buy one.
