Low water pressure

We have a 370 Georgetown MH and are hooked up to city water but have no pressure. I have checked the obvious.......water turned on, hose kinked....all checks out ok. Even though we don't need the water pump when hooked up, we tried it just to see and no pressure. Any thoughts?

Question

Are you using a pressure regulator?

Water inlet screen plugged?

Water faucet screen/s plugged up?

No pressure regulator. We checked and have low pressure off the tank too.

Ok.....I learned something today and is so basic I feel stupid! The water filter needs changed. So, for now, ,removed the filter and pressure is fine!

I never put the water filter in the trailers system, just for that reason....I use those blue water filters that hook to the hose on the outside of trailer...that way water can be filtered too when filling the fresh water tank that the water pump pulls from...when hooked up to the hose from the campground water their pressure pushes water thru your water lines and should not fill your fresh water tank...that is done at another source externally with a hose....good luck keep the water flowing.
Also keep a pressure regulator on your hose.....and keep the hot water tank full....
