Water Drip

Went to a local county park over the 4th to hang with family, took the airstream, of course.
The park has noo hookups, other than water. I hooked up the hose, turned it on and noticed a water drip shortly thereafter from an apparent overflow hose behind the water heater. Closer inspection revealed some freshwater plumbing behind the water heater ( cold water heater, that is, Andy) with the large brass regulator, copper pipes and then a diverter valve of sorts with a pipe going out under the trailer. This pipe was what was dripping. Went to camping world, bought a pressure regulator, installed it, and the drip stopped. It seemed that the water pressure was very high in the park. The hose ballooned quite a bit when I initially turned it on with out the outside regulator. Is this drip normal with high pressure? Do I have something wrong with the pressureregulator or the diverter valve ( or whatever it is??) Did anybody have this problem before?
