cs, it's a doable DIY job _if_ you're not easily frustrated and are reasonably flexible. Pretty much all threaded connections are lefty-loosy, righty-tighty. If it's like mine, most of the fittings are a bit over 1" wrench size; I bought a cheap large crescent wrench and shortened the handle by half for easier access.
It's worth finding the water tank and checking to be sure the fill connection isn't deranged. Be sure the drain plug is snug in the water heater (1 1/16" socket, probably; lower outside). Also check and see if the water pump runs all the time.
At an absolute minimum, I'd pull drawers and open cabinets. Put some water in, turn the pump on, and use a bright flashlight to see if you can see where it comes out. It _might_ be something simple.
(On edit: You can likely find some basic RV plumbing schematics on-line. Do a search here and webwide with Google.)
