No water in bathroom but there is water in the kitchen

We are getting ready to go out this weekend and will be running off our water tanks - the kitchen has water when the pump is on, but the bathroom doesn't Any ideas?

    Uh......not possible, since there's no water flow at all from either hot or cold.

    OP: Unscrew the water lines under the sink and then see if you've got any water flow whatsoever. Chances are it's either clogged lines, or, closed valves. Good Luck!



    Duh..clogged aerator stops hot/cold water from flowing out of end of faucet

    Chances of BOTH hot/cold lines getting debris that plugs them both at same time........minimum

    Very few RV sink water supply lines have individual valves

    Clogged aerator common to both hot/cold non-flow issues.

    OP has water flowing at kitchen sink........so issue is in bathroom.

    Aerator was the first thing I thought about, but it's also possible there are issues:

    1. In your shore tie pressure regulator, or

    2. Your water inlet connection

    I'm thinking a failing regulator or a restriction in the connection could reduce flow to the point that you get water closest to the inlet and it reduces the farther you get away, like the bath.

    A friend got to the campground and pretty much "no water." Called a mobile RV tech who cleaned "deposits" out of aerators and some other choke point that I think was either the inlet or a valve. Lift the tank lid on a toilet that's been used a few years and it'll look like sand on the bottom of the tank. That kind of stuff in the RV water system.

    Thinking of that, if you use in in-line filter, is it flowing free?
  • Is it both the hot and cold water lines? Is it stopped at tub and toilet too?
    If one works and not the other I would assume something in line or possible kink in a line. If both not working at say sink then strainer like Old Biscuit said.
