water pressure

[seaweed2]

I have a 2016, 24ft Open Range Lite. The water pressure is the barely a steady stream. At home I hooked up without regulator and made no difference from using a 45psi. I traced all the lines, all handles are positioned correctly, no blockages.. I'm stumped. We have had class A, class c, other tt's and tent trailer, never had this problem. I haven't talked to factory yet, seeking thoughts of professional campers first. Semper Fi, Jim

Original Poster, is there any news on this issue? I just purchased a new TT and am interested in what you have found.

How are you doing there? If you haven't got supply pressure through any of the plumbing, I'd start at the source end and work from there, forwards. Your supply hose from the house is in this path, also.

There have been a few posts about supply pressure/flow from folks with new trailers. It can usually be due to debris from the factory assembly process or a failed/pinched supply line. The failure of the inlet check valve is also possible. They use the cheapest stuff imaginable on some models of trailers.

Good luck!

Helped a fella in the site next to us 2 years ago with his "new" TT with similar issues. The PEX was too short on a connection and fatigued/bounced around and eventually just kinked instead of the tight bend.

I straightened out the section, taped something to it for the trip, and told him to get a piece of PEX about 6" longer and replace it when he got home.

You just never know until you start checking things 😉

I had a similar problem. The trailer water went from fine one trip to a slow trickle the next. The brass fitting on the trailer that your water hose hooks to has a check valve inside of it that is of poor quality. Mine decided to not let water pass. I took the guts out of it and we were fine for the trip. I bought the exact replacement from Amazon and installation was easy. However, I expect I will be doing it again someday.

I'd bet clogged screen(s) somewhere. During the manufacturing process all kinds of sawdust and such can find it's way into the water system. When you start running the water all that stuff ends up in the screen(s).

Open one of your low point drains (used for winterizing) and turn on city water hose. See if you get full flow there.

All of the above and also make sure your by-pass valves are fully open.

Yep, very true for new units. Had to clean all the screens a couple of times when we took delivery.

Ok, thanks, pressure is same all outlets pump and city water so i'll start between pump and water in connections and see what's up. Just purchased in Sept. only been out twice so a clog seemed unlikely but.....

If you get the same results with hot cold, pump city water, at all outlets, then I would guess something is wrong between the pump and city water tee, and the hot water and cold water tee.
