One other thing you need to keep in mind.
If the water pump cycles on every few minutes, up to every hour, you most likely have a leak. The more often a cycle the bigger the leak. After a season of bouncing down roads and a winter season of changing temperatures, there is a good chance for a leaking connection.
Most newer RV,s (last 15 years) use tubing and connections that hand tighten. Open up the cabinets (kitchen and bathroom) and reach up and tighten the tubing connection for each faucet. If you have an inline water-filter check it's connections too. The outside shower connections can usually be gotten at inside the sink cabinet by the outer wall. The shower may have an access panel to unscrew to check faucet connections (mine was in the bedroom wall for shower).
The sink strainers cause low flow or pulsing of the pump while water turned on. Pump cycling (comes on when no flow was expected, and cycles off). Someone leaving a faucet slightly on, or some toilet paper caught in the flange seal opened for flushing (BIG problem if water keeps running to fill holding tank).
