Water pressure issue
I was recently camping at Lakewood CG in Myrtle Beach and experienced pressure/flow issues. I've camped here several times with no issues.
Pressure was 60psi. Checked with a gauge.
This problem occurred with or without a reducer.
Pressure would be good for a minute then drop. This occurred at all faucets/shower in the camper. It was really low flow, you could barely rinse the soap off.
I first thought my wife was trying to shower at same time as me. I use the outside shower in a shower tent.
Switch to on board tank/pump and everything is fine.
This lasted for about a week, then started working just fine. The people around me said their water was "sufficient". They spoke little English, and I speak zero French.
Sufficient is a relative term... :)
Could the check valve in my city inlet been malfunctioning?
Never had this issue before, and all was normal at home before the trip.
Thank you
