well...problem is diagnosed...I noticed the underbelly coreplast was sagging a bit directly under the grey water tank...I used a bottle jack and some plywood to raise the sagged area back up to near level...went inside and turned on the kitchen faucett...normal pressure and flow rate at the kitchen sink...they will pump my tanks tomorrow morning so I will be removing coreplast and seeing what failed and allowed the tank to move...certified welders onsite and lots of steel tube and angle...should be able to fix it permanently over the next few days...
Thanks to all who contributed...

And no thanks to the jokers who designed and/or built the FW in such a way that 1) the tank could sag, 2) the water line runs =under= the tank. Glad you were able to diagnose it. FWIW, the 'plast on my FW is all held on my self-tapping screws, so have a couple batteries for your cordless drill charged up, and start unscrewing. :-)

While I agree the design could have been better, I suspect a cross member has came loose and allowed the tank to shift and sag...stuff happens when you are towing a rolling earthquake and this one has been towed a long ways and lived in a lot...This is the very first issue I have had with the unit so I guess I will wait until the repairs are done before casting a verdict on the quality of the unit...
two 18 volt Milwaukee's with 3 batteries...one is an impact driver...I think we have enough power...
