I always take care to lay the hose out in a big curve, rather than coiled up, because that will prevent excess pressure drop under flowing conditions. Use the shorter hose whenever possible.

I have to say in my 40+ years of rving I have NEVER heard of this!!
Not sure, but I think 25' of 1/2" or 5/8" water hose is still 1/2" or 5/8" water hose whether laid in a big curve or coiled up, unless it gets kinked. If there's 45-50 psi at the water connection you'll have 45-50 psi at the opposite end of the hose regardless of how or where it lays.
So I guess the 5 gallon bucket idea with your hose coiled in it would reduce your pressure to a trickle?
Do this if you think it helps, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't/won't have any effect on the pressure.
Having the incoming water going through 2 softeners & at least 1 filter will definitely reduce the kitchen/bath/shower faucet pressures.
