Low Water Pressure

I have a 2002 Cedar Creek 36' 5ver that I have kept in a campground since I bought it new. I have HORRIBLE water pressure. I have checked and replaced the incoming screen, tried with and without pressure regulator, pushed the check valve in and out to make sure it was free, and replaced incoming hose. When I first got the trailer it had a incoming filter that I removed because I had no water pressure. I have been running it with no filter since (2003). When I take a shower the water barely comes out. If you turn on a sink it stops coming out completely. I can barely shower its really bad. The water pressure coming in the trailer seems good but inside its horrible. Please help.

    There most likely is a pressure regulator that came pre-installed in the rig. It has probably failed. Do you get good pressure when you switch to the water pump and storage tanks? If so, the problem lies between where you connect the hose and the valve that switches from city water to fill (it could also be that valve). If you have bad pressure from the pump also, the problem is further in. Could be a crimped hose, debris clogged at a junction or there might be yet another filter in the line you haven't found.

    The incoming water runs through the pump? If there are screens there that might be it. I have been running the campground water through there with no filter since 03.
