The inlet has a built in pressure regulator which can sometimes go bad, and this inlet is where the screened washer is. I check my screen every now and then because it's pretty small and get plugged easily. If yours doesn't have a screen you could have crud in the regulator. I had lousy city pressure in mine and I replaced the inlet unit which helped. Even then, my pressure isn't as good as it is with the pump. The regulator has a small opening which limits the flow. An inlet without the regulator is a different shape and I didn't feel like trying to make it fit.

hmm. well it did have a regulator on it, but maybe it is problematic. I doubt it however, as i also had one off my other motorhome and both worked the same. its odd. I guess I dont see how you can get pressure without filling the tank. Maybe thats how these work. My last winnebago, it was a seperate inlet for pressure from a hose, and a different one to fill the tank.
When that valve is UP, i hear water flowing into the tank. when i turn it to the right, the pump starts running (even when the inside switch is off) and still no pressure. its odd
