Water pressure is determined by the source you are hooked up to. Is it better using the fresh water tank and the pump or on shore water? Go to Lowes or HD and get a water pressure gauge. If the source pressure is less than 40 psi then you are correct about low pressure. If over 40 then you most likely have a flow restriction.
You may have a check valve at the input that is restricting flow. If you are using a Camping World type pressure regulator then get rid of it. They are primarily flow restrictors. If you have filters, check them. When they get dirty, they restrict flow. If you are using any fittings at the hose bib like Ys, check to see how small the bore opening is. Some are very small.
If some faucets are worse than others, check them for restrictions like flow reducers or just dirty screen strainers.
