Kitchen faucet not working

Hello all. I'm new to the rving so wife and I purchased a 2018 Flagstaff V-LITE model 30wfkss.
Have water everywhere else but the kitchen sink. I've checked for shut off valves and kinked lines. Even cleaned out the screens on the sprayer. Only thing in my mind is"maybe they didn't hook the lines to the water inlets." Doesn't work on potable or city connection so I'm at a loss
Thanks for any advice.Click image for larger version

I've read here that SOME of these things have a screen/filter where they connect to plumbing under the cabinet. No hot or cold either?

Unscrew the screen on the end of the faucet spout. Most likely needs cleaning. A common issue.

I assumed that's what he meant when he said "Even cleaned out the screens on the sprayer."

Nope... Neither one works. At the two Rivers RV park in Nashville with a camping world right next door. Bought mine from a camping world in Missouri and this one doesn't even seem interested in helping...😕

I did, but even then with the head of the sprayer off there was no flow.
I also disconnected the lines leading to the faucet with no luck.

Based on your picture I believe we have the identical model kitchen faucet.
Mine clogged up once and cleaning out the spray filter did no good. Also checked the flexible plastic tubing under the sink which connects to the spray nozzle which also did no good. Finally disassembled the water selection handle and removed the internal cartridge. Found debris clogging what are extremely small openings for the passage of water. Cleaned everything out, put it back together and faucet worked perfectly. Did this a year ago and so far no repeat problems. If your faucet model is the same as mine you should be able to locate a small set screw on the water section handle which will enable you to remove the handle and gain access to the internal cartridge. Good luck to you!

Well, I'm an idiot 😖... I've been frustrated with this faucet for 2 days now and out of the blue the wife gets it to work... Apparently, you need to pull the handle out and then rotate it back and forth...

If you don’t already you should use an inline water filter—Just my opinion

Gun guy- just getting ready to tell you how it works when I saw this post. We did exactly the same thing when we got our new fiver home. Couldn't get the darn kitchen sink faucet to come on. Just like you. We actually had the dealer on the phone when we accidentally pushed it the right way and the water came on...
