I have chosen a generic household water filter available at your local home improvement center. This is a high flow filter which should not adversely affect water pressure and flow. Your regulator should be used in line with this filter to protect your plumbing. I have also created a filter stand made from 1" Schedule 40 PVC which is also readily available and inexpensive. This stand can be placed under your RV to keep it cool. Be sure to see the UPDATE at the bottom of the page.
Filter Components:
1 - OmniFilter Household Water Filter Canister - Model OB1
1 - OmniSink Kit - Model K-2 (Contains wall mounting bracket and screws) (Discard hardware)
1 - OmniFilter Cartridge - TO1-DS Series A
(2 Cartridges in pack)
1 - Brass Male Hose to MIP adapter - 3/4" x 3/4"
1 - Brass Female Hose to MIP adapter - 3/4" x 3/4"
Filter Stand Components:
2 - 2" x .25" bolts
2 - .25" nuts
1 - 10' section of Schedule 40 PVC ( Will be cut into smaller sections)
6 - 1" 90 degree Elbows
4 - 1" Ts
4 - 1" Caps
Base PVC Cuts:
2 - 7.5" (front section of base)
2 - 4" (rear section of base)

6 - 1.5" (used to join Ts and elbows)
Riser PVC Cuts:
2 - 11" ( upright of riser)

Once parts are cut, assemble according to pictures. Drill two holes in top of riser using the wall bracket as a template. Attach Filter to stand using .25" bolts and nuts. Attach female hose adapter to the input and male hose adapter to the output.
Note: Do not glue the base to the riser so that the stand can be disassembled for storage.

After doing major remodeling to the inside of the coach, we decided we would like to have the filter inside so that we do not have to connect and disconnect at each setup. One of the modifications we did was to put a cabinet over the pipes where the city water connection comes into the coach. This created an excellent are to house our whole house water filter. Below are pictures of the cabinet and the water filter installed in its new home.
