Water pressure issue

Rockwood Roo 233, we used a standard water pressure regulator at the source to 40-50 psi. We also have an external water filter and the internal filter. Our water pressure continues to get worse and worse. Any suggestions or help?

Check for debris in faucet tips. When you unscrew the tip you will also find a restrictor in the bathroom and a set of screens in the kitchen which restrict flow. On mine there were several screens in the kitchen. I removed one or two.

Two water filters ?

First as has been mentioned I would check the faucet screens, and the screen going into the camper (at the hose inlet)
Second I would remove one water filter at a time and see if that helps.
Third I would get an adjustable water regulator.

I think two water filters is overkill. Is there a reason you're doing that?
I would at least remove the cartridge in the internal filter housing.

We went through the same thing with our Roo 21ss! It was debris in the lines.
Take all screen filters off the faucets, shower heads off the hoses and disconnect water line at toilet. Using an air compressor blow out the lines at the toilet line.
We have had to do this twice in two years.
If you Google no water pressure in camper there are many videos and blogs to help walk you through it.
Happy camping!

Yep - I'd bet all you need to do is clean the faucet screens.. A friend could not understand why his kitchen sink in his Class A was running at a trickle and he had good water pressure everywhere else. It was like this since he got it and was getting progressively worse.

I was camping with him one day and he was about ready to start tearing stuff apart and check the lines for kinks.. I walked in, unscrewed the the nozzle, back flushed the screen and all was as it should be..

Funny how we tend to overlook the simple stuff.

I want to remove the internal one completely and by pass it. I’ll see if that helps the water pressure.

Are you using a cheap water pressure regulator?

Those $8 unit to seriously limit flow as well as pressure.

One filter is enough.

Remove the water pressure regulator, remove both filters.

Clean all faucet screens.

See what happens. Might be a 0 dollar fix.

The good water pressure regulators are $40.

I also use both the external Camcorder filter and the internal WaterPur filter, without any problems.

You have build-up in the faucet screens. Been there done that. Very frustrating the first time it happens and you have no idea why you have no pressure 10 mins after setting up 5 hrs away from home. Lol Simple fix.
