Problem solved.
I got in behind the access and took the faucet off completely. I then ran the pump to be sure there wasn't a blockage or kink in the line somewhere and it was find.
The faucet was the problem. If you turn the faucet around and look into the line from the back, there is a small spring value. For some reason the spring valve was no longer seated properly. I'm guessing it was most likely due to the winter storage and some ice pushing it out of place. Once I pushed it back in to where it was supposed to sit and reassembled the faucet it worked great.
On a side note, as part of this process I found the direct line with a shutoff valve for winterizing the trailer. I wrongly assumed that would be at the pump and could never find it so I was winterizing the old fashioned way. (pouring a little into the tank). I won't have to do that any longer.
