We just got back from a short trip and our water pressure was terrible. outside of the trailer, it was fine. We have a 2010 Forest River Sierra 5th wheel. What could be causing this problem from within? Never had this problem before. Thanks.

Times 2 on all the above. By chance is this problem using your water pump or on city water or both?

And - by any chance are you using a "regulator" at the hose bib?

The $10. variety really just *restrict* water flow - and as
they age pressure & flow will decrease.

*If* you are using one of those try a test without it.

A Watts *regulator* is a vast improvement - and it's adjustable.

Yes, An adjustable Watts is worth the money IMO. My cheapie water regulator said "pre-set at no more than" 45 or 35 but was in real life was only 23 psi when tested with air pressure. That was when we got a Watts, yes worth the money.

OP, if still stuck after all responses here, get a hand held pressure gauge and a few fittings to see where water is getting held up at.
