The vibration you hear is called "Air - Hammer" .a quick fix is to take a Y connector and a 1' to 2 ' piece if hose, put a plug in the end of the hose and add a clamp to keep it in place point it above the connection at the spigot so it retains its air inside then turn the water on and it will remove the shudder by creating a soft air shock diaphragm in the water line!!!.....make sure the air lock stays above the water flow line.(above the spigot)

I have a interesting problem. I'm hooked up to a friends house for water. When I flush my rv toilet, she hears her plumbing vibrate. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I have encountered this in campgrounds, the pipes coming into the outside faucet will vibrate. For us I think it is interaction with the back-flow valve in the city water connection. You might be able to get rid of the vibration by adding a support to her plumbing. But first you have to find where to put the support by having someone hold the pipe rigidly.

Try putting a pressure reducing valve in line before the water enters your rig...

I have a pressure reducer in my line. We are on a well, so no (city ) water, and I have a backflow built into my rig.
