Water system issue

Hello, everyone!
I am new to this forum, but wanter first of all to say thank you for all the info that you guys share here!
I have a question, may be someone can help. We have Avenger travel trailer. It's 4 years old, parked on seasonal campground. Last weekend we opened it after the winter, filled up fresh water tank, filled water heater and fired it up. flushed all the lines to get rid of antifreeze, all was good. then I decided to wash dishes. Kitchen sink is the farthest from the sourse of water. Water was running well ( I used water pump as city water is not available yet). All of a sudden a lot of air started to come out of the faucet, I thought maybe from heater, and eventually it stopped running and pump is not responding to opening faucets. The rest of the taps are working well ( sink, shower, bathroom and outdoor shower). Just that stupid kitchen sink (that you need the most!!!). My guess is there is an air in the system towards the kitchen sink. I am hoping that once we connect city water next weekend it will have enough pressure to flush that air out.
I will really appreciate any comments, ideas, suggestions.
Thank you again!

Kitchen faucet is clogged.....


Water pump has more than sufficient pressure But is not running because there is no 'demand' (drop in line pressure) because kitchen faucet is clogged up

Problem is at kitchen faucet....solution is at kitchen faucet.
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Instead of disconnecting the water line, remove the cartridge assembly at the faucet. Hold rag over opening and momentarily click pump on, see if you have water flow.

Low point drains are closed, we checked before filling fresh water tank. We didn't try to disconnect water line at the faucet because you can't get there unless you disassemble half the kitchen. But this is good idea, we just gonna have to come prepared next weekend we go... With tools and everything....

Make sure you closed off your low point drain valves - check under the rig and see if there is any water draining when your trying to run kitchen faucet.

And disconnecting the water line(s) at the tap set.....what happens?

You gotta start working backwards.

So the kitchen faucet is the only one not having any water flow?
Neither hot or cold works?
All the other faucets are OK?
The first place I'd look at would be the aerator screen that's screwed onto the end of the faucet spout, it sounds like it's plugged.
