low water pressure
I have, for me, a real head scratcher. :h I have a regulator on the faucet outside set at 52 PSI (which I measured). But at the faucet in the RV the water is low pressure. I did not measure it but not...

If low pressure is happening the same at all faucets and toilet:
Check the city water inlet on the outside. They have a filter screen that can get plugged up. Behind the city water inlet, there is a check valve and they can also get plugged up. As mentioned, look for a filter.
If only one particular faucet:
Remove, inspect and clean the aerator. If no help, the cartridge in the valve could be plugged up.
It is possible to have a kinked PEX line, but unlikely. We had a totally kinked PEX line to our shower that came from the factory that way.
What are you using for a regulator? Have you checked the pressure/flow on at the outlet side of the regulator and also at end of the hose before connecting to the city water inlet? Could try running some water from your fresh water tank to see if there's a difference.
If you don't have at least a sediment filter, it might help to get one. You could try setting the regulator a bit higher. I have ours set at 65 psi (as recommended by RVwaterfilterstore.com).
Try removing the regulator (if the CG/park pressure is not too high) and see if that changes anything. If you have a Watts regulator, they can get plugged up but you can take them apart and rebuild it with a rebuild kit.
