Water system broke?

We're at a park in Hoodsport WA. We put on our cold weather hose with a regulator and the water pressure kept dropping over a period of days. Switched out hoses but now there's no water at all coming through. Checked to see if there's water/pressure at hookup. Any other ideas?

    I agree with the WHAT WAS not the fix but the problem

    I have been cold weather camping not entierly by plan for some winters now Even in S.E. GA we had freezing nights (not many) and where I am now we get many ONLY twice have I had an issue

    ONce I had a "Y" adapter on the park spigot that broke due to freezing (Minor problem < 10 bucks) and the other tine I did not PERSONALY have an issue but the park did so I could not tank up when I wanted to (Minor issue got water at next stop an hour later. No danger)

    WHat I do is this: I tank up. then drain hose and disconnect it. Now if the park freezes.> Well that's their problem I have at least 30 gallosn on board (normally) if I can not re-tank here well the other park is the same water system so no problems.. Normally I only hook up in the park I'm at and for OTHER REASONS I tank up and use only tanked water.. If there is danger of freezing I disconnect and drain the hose. Other wise I leave it connected and tank up again before I leave. the other park I do a "Short setup" no hoses just power.

    Here are the steps I would take.

    Is there water pressure at the campground faucet?
    Is there water pressure at the other end of the hose (including pressure regulator is used)?
    Using the water pump on your rig, do you have pressure inside the coach?

    That should narrow now the issue.

    If the answer is yes to all three questions, a full-coach water filter, if you have one, is a candidate for causing the problem, especially since you had a dropping in pressure over a period of time. Another candidate would be the the check valve in the city water connector.

    If you still have the problem, let us know the answer to the three questions, above, and we can troubleshoot from there.

    Look at the inlet. There could be a screen style hose washer that is plugged up.
    Does this happen on all faucet and toilet locations?
