No water in kitchen

Just learning about my new to me Isata 3 Rv
I’ve turned on the pump but no water comes out of the kitchen faucet
I get water in the bathroom
Have I missed something.
Ive also turned on the water heater Truma.

Have you ever had it connected to a city water source and did water come out the kitchen faucet then?

Are there possibly supply shut off valves located under the kitchen sink somewhere.
Most R/Vs do not have them but if it is used unit who knows?

You could have crud in the aerator screen in the faucet. Unscrew it and check.

No water in kitchen

I bought the Rv. It worked when we did the walk thru but it has set for a couple weeks as I was out of town
There are shut off valves under the sink but they are turned in line with the hose
There is 2/3 fresh water in the tank
In the bay the dry camping valve is on
I have not hooked up to city water just getting my feel before I take my first trip
The pump does work as I get water in the bath room sink and shower.
Appreciate your input
Margie

Well, if you've unscrewed the aerator from the faucet and still have no water, then:

Is it a "pull out" hose faucet? Look under the sink for a kinked hose.

Bruce (Nomad297), a plumber, has posted here about pullout faucet hoses having a one-way valve (check valve) in the connector so water won't get sucked into the hose if it's lying in water in the sink. You could try loosening the hose a bit at the faucet end. If there's water pressure there, that's the problem. I can't remember the solution, but before you replace the hose, you might try taking off the spray head and poking at the hose end with a narrow object.

I've never heard isolation valves in a trailer to separate parts of the water system. If you think you might have these, open all the cabinets and pull out all the drawers to look. Also unscrew any screwed-on access panels and look there, too.

Lots of R/Vs have isolation valves for washer & dryer ready connections but that really isn't the issue here.

So if just kitchen and everything else works.... its just in that kitchen sink line or faucet. and if its on both hot and cold, it has to be faucet. Click image for larger version

With the "pull out" hose, you might disconnect the flex hose from the main assembly and check for debris in that narrow connection. I found some plastic or Teflon in that connection in my rig which could have been left from original construction.

boy do I feel stupid. I thought this motorhome was a bit to fancy for me.
I went out to once again try all the recommendations. I accidentally grabbed the lever and it moved sideways. I had been moving it back and forth.
thank you everyone for trying to help me.

Glad you got it figured out!

Don't feel stupid. My son had a hard time understanding single lever faucets. One way the lever controls flow. (on/off) The other way controls temperature. (hot/cold)
