I have over filled my tank many times and as stated it goes on the ground. I watched the top of the tank to see what happens and it rises just a little but settles when the water is shut off. My coach has copper plumbing and I am not concerned about to much shore pressure. In the shop we would use the same copper plumbing for high pressure air lines, 120 lbs. So anything coming from the street has got to be way lower than that. I figure it is a good test for the plumbing for leaks. If it can't take street pressure then it needs to be fixed so it can. Most the time I do use a regulator tho. If you are not using shore pressure then you are using the water pump which adds wear and tear on something that will just need to be replaced sooner. You're right, personal preference, but one of the reasons I bought a Newell is so I wouldn't have to be concerned with things not being built to the standards of a regular home or better in-order to enjoy life on the road with less worries/expenses than the other lesser quality rigs.
