Need some help with water pressure

[Radrtv]

I have a Rockwood 2702ss. My husband set me and the kids up for a week and had to leave for a work emergency. We will be fine so I thought. I have very low water pressure. We are on full hook ups. please excuse my lack of trailer knowledges. This is usually my husbands department. When I hit the water levels it only shows 1/2 on the gauges (red dots). I disconnected the city lines and the water seems to be running fine from the bib. It barely dribbles from the shower and barely enough to rinse dishes.
I searched the forums didn't find much. I removed screens on Kitchen faucet. They are clear. I tried using the water pump, it didn't helping read it should be off with city water
#1 hooked to city water shouldn't it be full lights ?
#2 is something turned off that I don't know.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Control panel lights don't have anything to do with city/campground water. One of them indicates how much water is in the fresh water tank which you don't use if you're hooked to city water. Do you know if you have a pressure regulator? Do you have a built-in water filter?

I have a built in water filer. I took that off and replaced the filter with a new filter before we left.

I dont think there is a water regulator that I can see. I googled it and I am looking though stuff to see if I have one. I do not see one so the answer is no, not attached

Have you checked the pressure from your outside connection? Is there a blue in-line filter? Try disconnecting the outside connection and see how much water pressure there is before it goes into the RV.

P.S. I run an outside blue torpedo filter and a inside cartridge filter.

I have two filers. The blue one and the built in one. I removed the blue one and it didn't change the pressure

My first thought after reading through is that the water heater bypass isn't valved correctly.

That may not be the problem, but if some of the valves aren't opened all the way it might cause low pressure.

Turn off the water at the bib. Relieve pressure by opening a faucet. Remove the campground water hose from the trailer. Turn water on at the bib to see how much pressure comes out of the hose (I'm trying to determine if there's a kink/blockage, etc., in the hose itself). IF that water pressure from the hose is really strong, take a ballpoint pen, etc., and stick it in the connection where the hose attaches to the trailer. Press in with the pen and observe of water sprays out. I've heard of some cases where an anti-reversing valve in there gets stuck and prevents water from entering the trailer. Reconnect the hose to the trailer and turn on the water at the bib and retest inside. Take two aspirins and call us in the morning. No wait... report back what you find.

I recently had a sudden drop in pressure on my MH. I too run two filters. I thought the first filter would prevent the second from clogging but that was not the case. I removed the filter from the onboard filter cannister and that fixed the issue. Apparently the onboard filter traps finer material and clogged up.
