Low Water Pressure

2021 Allegro Red 33AA- we have had our rig for 3 years. All our trips have involved camp sites with full hook up- no overnight Walmart or boondockibg stays.

Being at a camp with city water, our water pressure was strong I. The beginning without using the water pump ( use a pressure regulator that regulates to 40psi.

Recently, same setup, water pressure very low??

Why?

1. We’d like to understand reasons why this could be happening for us to check.

2. Recommended actions to improve water pressure in the coach.

Dribbled out of the shower!!

Thanks

1) Is the pressure/flow good out of the water hose itself? A bunch of "gunk" could have come out of the camp's spigot when you first opened it, clogging an in-line hose filter, if you're using one. After absolutely plugging our filter once with rusty stuff from the spigot, I always run water through the detached hose first before hooking up our filter or hooking to the rv.

2) Another possibility is that the onboard water filter near the water pump may need to be cleaned or changed.

3) Always a chance you have a water lined pinched or twisted, or you may have a leak somewhere, but I'd bet those possibilities are minimal.

4) Lastly, your fresh tank is not overflowing by chance? If your tank-fill valve is partially open - or if your pump's check valve is stuck open - you could be sending water to the tank while you're trying to pressurize you inside plumbing lines. But you'd see water overflowing sooner or later.

Good Luck!

do all the above checks.

.... do also check the water flow out of campground faucet. Once found a geiko come out when opened faucet to check. They like to seek water in warm south area grounds. Would cause unforeseen plug in sytem.

As well, pressure regulators also sometimes fail, restrcting flow.

All good suggestions and I had tried those when I had an issue with low flow only to find out it was the water regulator I had went bad so I ran without one until I got a new one that also showed pressure so I know I have water pressure from the CG water system.

Depending on your fresh water hookup, there might be a mesh screen in the inlet that could be clogged.
