Rear bathroom sink

We have noticed that the water pressure at the rear bathroom sink is different then the other water outlets. The sink has pulsating water pressure, where there is a distinct ebb and flow of the water from that sink. However, this is the only location where this occurs. The shower, kitchen faucets, etc do not experience this. This occurs at the bathroom sink regardless if we are on city water or using the fresh water tank. We use the water pump all the time, city water or tanks. When on city water or tanks we keep the ‘auto fill’ mode on. Just wondering if others experience this or if others have ideas regarding this situation.

Rear bathroom sink

We have not experienced this situation. My first guess would be to check any screen at the end of your faucet. We have a 15 Ventana and I can't remember if there is a screen on the end or not. A clogged screen will certainly diminish water pressure. Next I would suspect the faucet itself. Perhaps there is some loose obstruction in the hot/cold mixing portion of the unit.

We had this happening on our ACE and it was plastic shavings in the aerator screen at the faucet. When we cleaned it, the flow increased and pulsing stopped.

No advice besides what other posts have already suggested though I would be surprised to see a coach as new as yours to already have material collected at the aerator screen. I'm wondering why you keep the pump "on" when you're connected to city water. Our experience has been that city water pressure is usually higher than what we can get from our coach pump anyway. When on city water, our practice is to turn off the coach pump and spare ourselves the noise of the pump. You might want to try that to see if the unusual back sink experience remains when operating on just city water pressure.

Probably depends where you camp. I've been to multiple camps, some state parks, where I'm only getting 20-30 PSI so at least when showering, use the water pump to boost the pressure up.
