Tried this yesterday, Camping World has an add on filter for about $59.  Looking at it I realized it looked pretty similar to the one I bought at Lowes.  So, back to Lowes, Whirlpool cannister filter for about $20.  2 brass 3/4" to hose fitting at $3.50 each.  Bracket to mount filter, $6.  $33 total.  Don't remember whether you get a filter cartridge at CW but a 2 pack charcoal filter was $9.  So, add that in, up to $42 with an extra filter. 

Fun project, got to play plumber for a little bit.  I added a short run to go from the out port to city water i, and added my pressure regulator on the input side.  For ease of routing a couple brass 90 deg adapters.  My regulator also has the indicator, so I am seeing 70 psi in, (wow!). I suppose I could get anohter showing pressure out, but heck I am not that anal. 

Neat item I found in Quartzsite for hose connections, bought a pair there, and they also sell them at CW.  These are pretty neat, I have one at the input to the filte setup, (on the in to the reg), and one on the hose.  No drips, quickly put on.
