Kitchen faucet woes

Fuacet has a diverter in it that opens and closes when you use the sprayer if it does not return when you shut spray off it will give you low pressure at the faucet. Some are serviceable some are not but worst case would be replace the faucet

If you are getting good water pressure in other places then you have a clog someplace. If it isn't the aerator then start at the top and work your way back. Unhook the water lines from the faucet and get a bucket and turn on the pump and see if the flow is good from the line. If it is, then go buy a new faucet, or take the current one apart and clean it out. If it's not the faucet you're going to have to follow water lines. Maybe you have a kink in a line someplace. But you said it's both hot and cold has low pressure, so since they have different water lines, that tells me it's your faucet.

^^^^This^^^^^
It's very easy to calcium in the control valve(s) but first you need to know if you have good pressure in the lines themselves. I suspect you will find that you do and the fixture is where the issue exists.

I just fixed mine today. I have a Lowes faucet with the pull out spout and sprayer. I found the pull out hose has a connector on it with some sort of flow valve installed. The valve was full of junk, cleaned it out and now DW has sink water.

Thanks for all the great suggestions and info! I'll keep you posted.

Sometimes working the sprayer with the faucet on can fix a sticky diverter valve, it opens and closes the spool, remove the screw on piece at the end of the spigot you cleaned and open both faucets, work the sprayer a few times and see if the flow increases out the spout. Sometimes this works if it's been sitting for a while.

I believe Tiffin was using Price Pfister faucets in your year model coach as they were in my 2009. They have a lifetime warranty so I would suggest contacting them at Price Pfister

I had to contact them twice on different issues, and they were very easy to deal with.

If your sprayer is the type that cuts off the faucet flow when you press the sprayer trigger, then it could be the transfer valve is stuck due to corrosion or mineral buildup. The transfer valve is an integral device usually located at the base of the spout swivel. If you have a two handle faucet, the spout may have a threaded attachment that can be unscrewed to access the valve. After removing as much water as possible, pouring a little vinegar or coffee pot cleaner into the swivl area may help free the valve up. You may also be able to push it down to help dislodge any material that may be jamming it. If you have a single handle faucet, the handle assembly may need to be disassembled to remove the spout.

I think u answered your own question low flow on hot and cold ;;stand alone sprayer has proper flow and pressure ;; filter/sceen/aerator clean;; = bad faucet

Did you run/flush faucet hot/cold sides WITHOUT aerator installed?

W/O Aerator is flow still low?

Aerators have a 'flow restrictor'....if flow is good w/o aerator then faucet is good....just remove restrictor.
If flow is same (low flow.no improvement) w/o aerator then faucet cartridge is bad. Could just be clogged...replace cartridge.
If you don;t like faucet...replace it

the picture your showing is not even near close to the system the OP has or is your picture just a generic one and your assuming all are like this
