1999 Coachman 252 RKS (all OG components)โ€ฆ OK, I have a tough one for you!!! Water Pipe/Pump/Flow related for all you plumbing experts. Up to two days ago EVERYTHING was working PERFECTLYโ€ฆWater Pressure, the Pump, City Water Hook-Up, Hot Water, ETCโ€ฆEVERYTHING.

The Problem: I have COLD water & pressure coming out of the COLD side of the sink/valve in the Bathroom Sink and on the Bath Tubโ€ฆNO Hot Water side PRESSURE?!?! When the HOT side is open, NOTHING comes out?! That is perplexing enough and can be trouble shot for hours alone, BUT, I have NEITHER HOT OR COLD in the Kitchen Sink to top it all off?!?

What I have done so far: Heated all of the lines (just in case, as it has been coldโ€ฆALTHOUGH, this does NOT explain the Kitchen sink NOT working ALL TOGETHER (there should still be cold), but I do hear some air from the Kitchen sink, but water never comesโ€ฆ

I have checked for leaks and found NOTHING.

I have reset the pump (although it still sounds fine and pushes the cold to the bath tub & bathroom sink.
I have emptied the Hot Water Heater tank and checked the pressure valve, and have bypassed it (two valve set up).
I have hooked up to city water (hose) and run the tank at the same time which ONLY gives MORE pressure to where the water flows.
I have tried with the hot water heater on AND off.
I have checked the aerators and they are clear.
I have checked the inputs on the pump and hot water heater and they are clear.

I am at a loss, but donโ€™t want to take her in, lolโ€ฆ ANY ideas?

It has been cold.... Not all piping freezes at the same time. Some just happens to be in a slightly warmer location. My vote is some frozen plumbing.

Loss of pressure at the outlet of the water heater may be a failed check valve. Other mysteries may be better diagnosed if you remove the aerators at the faucets to eliminate those as a cause.
