So, our pressure is way down. It's fine when using the tank/pump, but goes down to a trickle when on shore water. I've cleaned the filter and there are no kinks in the hose.
I just don't know where the regulator is to try and replace it.

Thanks:)
 
It is the assembly that you screw the shore water hose into.
You should have 4 screws to remove the housing and a screw fitting at the opposite end
 
If the regulator is bad and its a Jabasco look into replacing with a Shurflo. I did mine on my 340SDA and had to replace the new Jabasco/Xylem after the metal hose connector was blown out the fixture - the new ones are just pressed into the plastic. The Shurflo was slightly larger so you might have to enlarge the hole but I am quite happy with the new one from Shurflo.

I'm going to go this route with mine as well. I've been through a few Jabsco's & they always seem to restrict the water flow too much.

Excellent.
That's exactly what I just picked up, since Jabasco no longer makes that model.
I connected the Shurflo to see how it worked and am very happy with the flow.
Still need to enlarge the hole, the Jabasco was 3" and the Shurflo is 4"..as soon as it stops raining, I'll finish it up.

If you were nearby I could help cut the hole. To do it neatly I bought the hole saw and created a guide out plywood by cutting a hole in it. I including the holes for the new inlet mounting. I then mounted the guide using the best existing holes and cut the enlargement. Spent more time thinking about than cutting and mounting.

I simply used a sabre saw on low speed.(to avoid melting the plastic)

Thanks! What I ended up doing was just making the cut in reverse. Brand new Lennox hole saw cut through it like butter. After a few attempts to create a guide in reverse, and then go forward, only to have it jump on me, I kept it in reverse. All good:)
