2017 coachmen Chaparral 360 ibl fifth wheel

[birdsall]

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could tell me if in this fifth wheel there is a problem getting water pressure to the kitchen sink or if there is a shut off valve that possible isn't open all the way. any info would be helpful as we can't get good water pressure to the kitchen sink. Thanks in advance

I did notice lower pressure in mine this past weekend but didn't get a chance to debug it (ie, only faucet that is low, clogged water filter, low pressure at the pedestal, etc). I should have turned on the water pump to rule out the campsite pedestal but the crappy weather had me preoccupied.

I am pretty confident there are no valves (in our 2018 anyway). I have been through all the plumbing lines in the basement and under the sink and no valves.

That said, I do wonder how to clean out the pull-out sprayer head. Normally I get a bunch of calcium build up in the faucets (on previous rigs anyway) that contribute to the faucet output being lower. Any suggestons?

We are going back to the same park next time so I will look at it then.

We have a 2016. Same issue. I have taken mine apart and everything is clean. Other posts on here indicate the same thing and changed out the kitchen faucet.
Just helps you conserve water if you look at it the other way.

No problem with the water pressure at our kitchen sink. Mind you I don't use a regulator unless the pressure is over 75 though which it rarely is.

Don't mean to hijack, but while we're talking IBL's, I do have an issue with our pump. We don't ever use it so I haven't bothered to diagnose it much. Whenever I turn the knobs to "system use" and turn the pump on, water shoots out the city water connection. Is there supposed to be a check valve at that inlet or am I doing something wrong in order to use the pump?

There should be a check valve built into the city water inlet. You might try to pull the inlet screen on the city water connector to see if there is access to the check valve

Curious though, are you changing knobs just for running the pump vs on the city water?

If your 360IBL is like our 370 FL,you have to change the valves to make the pump system work right.

ok will check on that. I'm assuming you turn the knobs to the "system use" position to use the pump. Is this not correct?

[chaps2018]

Here is a pic of my panel. I leave it in the same position for both the city water or pump. Am I goofing up?

Well it lokks like mine. The city water system shows both valves to be straight up fof it to work. The way you have ot is for the pump on camper.

LOL, now I wonder if that is causing my water pressure problems when on the city water hose. Thanks for clarifying.
