The adjustable regulator will not increase low pressures they only reduce higher pressures to the set pressure. If the spigot only has 45psi you'll only have 45psi in the RV regardless what the regulator is set at.
Id think that if the RV is equipped with a water heater that needs 50-55 psi they would put in a pump that puts out that much, but it is a RV so ANYTHING is possible.
Also tankless water heaters doesn't mean instant hot water. RVs typically have long runs of small diameter uninsulated piping so it takes a bit for the hot water to reach a faucet.
