Sediment in the water lines

So I have a new Georgetown. the first time out all the faucets got clogged with sediment, I assume from the building process. So I cleaned them all out and carried on with our trip.

The next time out it did the same thing. The third time out same thing. this time clogging our toliet nossle as well.

What the heck is going on and or when does this stop?

Am I doing something wrong?

Are you running a water filter?
City water connection or fresh tank supply?
If tank and filter is the filter pre or post inlet?
Are you getting anything out of the fresh water tank drain?

First two camps city water. Third was dry camping. When city water I use a water regulator with a filter. I then have the standard water filter in the RV.

Is the filter clean? No traces of sediment in/on filter canister?

If what you are getting is a very fine sandy substance it might be from your whole house filter cartridge. Change your filter and see what happens. Get a standard 10" filter from lowes or home depot. That's what we had going on after MH purchase. Seems the filter just started breaking down. Maybe not your answer though.
