Makes sense guys, thanks.

For now we're making due. As I said, at least the auto fill function is working again so I don't have to worry about running the holding tank dry. This will just go on my repeat warranty repair visit list.

I have the same coach except 2015. I noticed a reduction after I put on a regulator 40-50. I too seen the same brass fitting within the last two days I called
Newmar just to see if that was a regulator or back flo preventer and was told that they don't put regulators on any of the coaches. They told me to take the filter out to check water flo momentary. It looks like you might have done this.
It's possible that the hose on the reel might be somewhat restricted you might pull it all out and rewind it.
I have found out that using the water from the fresh water tank and with the water pump on i get hotter water. I'm in pagosa springs and the water is cold.but I can take a hot shower without the diesel burner.

Thanks Steve. I'd already done just what you suggested with the hose reel and yes, I've already eliminated the OEM system filter.

What is this? City water inlet mystery fitting

You can not remove the Check valve/back flow preventer. First your pump will continually run and second it is illegal, you would be pumping water out of your tank into a municipal water system and that's a no no.

Take the hose off the pressure regulator and turn on the water, at 80 pounds you should get a good strong stream. If not it's the pressure regulator. If it is strong remove the filter housing and again turn on the water, if the stream is strong then you know everything is good to there. If not the problem is back toward the spigot. Continue this process until you find out where the problem is. If it is the check valve you should be able to get one at Lowes or HD. You can replace the PEX clamps with screw type hose clamps, again at Lowes/HD.
