Poor water pressure at shower head
According to the gauge I have just after the outside tap, the campground's supply water pressure is about 42 lbs. However, in the bathroom, at the shower head, it's about 50:50 dribble:jets of water. ...

Few things to check.......
What is the 'gauge' part of....a pressure regulator?NO REGULATOR.
If regulator---is it an adjustable type or fixed?
If adjustable..increase pressure to 50# (static pressure---no flow)
If fixed......remove/don't use and check how flow is in trailer. Regulator could be clogged up.
Hose connection..inlet screen clear? YES - CHECKED IT.
Shower.......OEM? YES
They typically have poor flow to begin with.
Have flow restrictor in handle or hose connection. Rubber/plastic insert. Small opening. Some can be removed..others---drill out to increase flow. GOOD IDEA. WILL DO.
OR replace with Oxygenics Brand I'LL LOOK INTO THESE.
Kitchen faucet.......OEM? YES
Aerator clean? (screws onto end of faucet) YES. REMOVED AND CLEANED.
Could be clogged internally. Typical RV OEM are not rebuildable. I'LL REMOVE AND CHECK. (ROTTEN JOB - HAVE TO WORK UPSIDE DOWN !)
Is low flow cold and hot sides? IN KITCHEN YES.
Less flow on Hot side? IN BATHROOM, I'D SAY YES.
Hot side-----check valve in hot outlet of water heater could be clogging up
Thanks !
