Water issue

[bill257]

We took our our Coachman 32 BH Freelander today for a trip.I dewinterize it and fill the water tank.I am noticing very low water pressure in all the faucets.What could be the reason.Any help would be appreciated.

First time when I filled the fresh water tank and got the pump switch than lot of air came out.Now just water comes out with decent pressure in the beginning and than it does out and just a trickle.This is the case with all the faucets including the shower head.If it is a pump problem than is there a way I can confirm it before buying and changing the pump.

Without too much more digging, sounds like a pump problem.
When it first pumps, does it spit a lot of air?

[bill257]

Yes initially water comes with some pressure but than just a trickle or very low pressure.

Let me see if I can understand this, you filled you onboard fresh water tank, turn the pump switch on, you initially get pressure, then what, just a trickle or stops all together ?
Also, do you have a "whole house" filter, mine is next to the pump.

Another possibility. The water pump has an inlet screen which can crud up - worth a look.

Look on the driver's side. It could be in a compartment adjacent to where the city water connection is located.
You may have a gravity feed and no valve.
Not sure if your rig has one. I looked on internet for photos, but didn't help much. Some showed two black objects near the rear wheels.

Everybody has tried, but everything that has been suggested is really basic stuff. If you simply cannot do basic home repairs, then you need to think about hiring a mobile repair tech.

Thanks for telling me that I should know the basics.If you do not want to help than it is fine.

How long have you owned this RV?
Have you ever taken the time to learn the systems?
Not teying to be nasty, but geeze this is RV101 stuff that you should have learned the first month of ownership. If you dont understand RV systems maybe its time you hired a mobile RV mechanic to come and teach you the basics.

Check your water fill valve if equipped.

Ok than my valves are open as they are not crossed but in line.I have noticed initially water comes with some pressure and than it slows down.How do I know if water pump is not defective.

Generally if the valve are crosswise of the water line, they're off.

Take the aerator acreems off each faucet. Thats the part the water comes out.
