Wierd bathroom water problem

Hey all-

It's a 2015 Itasca Sunstar, aka Winnebago Vista.

The flow of COLD water to our bathroom, the water closet, has gone down to almost nothing, perhaps 1/4 of its normal flow. Here are the facts:

- The slow flow appears at the toilet and in the sink, both in the same "closet".
- The HOT water in the sink, right next to the toilet, appears normal.
- The shower, directly opposite on the other side of the coach, seems normal, both hot and cold.
- The kitchen sink seems normal, hot and cold.
- Water pressure from the park is normal.
- Turning on the pump had no effect; cold water in toilet room still slow.
- This just started this morning. Outside temps are in the high 50's.

So it would seem that the cold water line, common to the toilet and toilet-room-sink has become clogged or restricted somehow? Not sure what else could account for this.

I may have to call a pro on this unless someone here has an idea. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance-

Dave

Have you double checked the cold water drain valves leading to the bathroom?

Water sources at CG's are notorious for having a lot of sediment in them as often they are wells. The screens at faucets get pretty clogged up as do the screens on the water pumps. Try cleaning those out.

I found a lot of debris in my water lines on the RV. Just disconnect one end of the cold water line and let it pump in to a container until the flow picks up. You also need to clean the filter screens at the end of each faucet on a regular basis to remove the debris particles.

Just a wild guess, but is it possible one of the winterizing valves or water heater bypass valve(s) got moved?

I believe Winnebago has all the plumbing diagrams on their website, so I'd recommend you check them out to see exactly what might be causing the issue.
