Shore hookup water pressure

What is the recommended max water pressure for my U295? My regulator is set at 40 psi now, but we'd like to have more, at least in the shower.

Normally FT's have a regulator built in behind the wall at the city fill. It is set at I believe 40 PSI. I took mine out, use an adjustable one, set to 45-50 psi. Wife like lots of pressure for her hair.

Some places have high volume, low pressure, some have low volume high pressure, so being adjustable helps a lot.
We stay in Parker Az at a park, that has huge pressure, till the water is on a couple of minutes, then really drops in pressure a bunch. The park is gravity fed.

Can't believe how much the price has dropped on these. I paid $80.00 for mine few years ago, and that was an online deal.

The regulator I bought is set at 50psi with the spigots off, but once I start filling, it drops to 30psi.  Not sure where it sits when using it normally...haven't tried that yet.
