Using city water and the pressure starts strong, however, it fades to a trickle fast.
The incoming water supply from the camp site has a water pressure muffler.
Took mine off to see it would help... Nope.
Any other suggestions?
Happy 4th.

Brian, check the screens on your faucets. I had the same problem two years in a row here at home and found the screens
in the coach were partially plugged. Maybe same for you?
Brian,
We have the same problem. I replaced the check valve at the city water connection. No joy. Faucets are almost new, so I don't thing they are the problem. They can't be, in fact, since the pressure is fine when we use internal water/pump.
Not the problem:(
Just taking short showers:)
On some FT's, there is a small pressure regulator (non-diaphragm regulator) behind the city water inlet, which you can't see unless you remove the water inlet flange. Might be either clogged or stuck so that only a small flow is allowed. Also inspect check valves (can be same location), which can also get stuck.
Logic dictates that there must be a flow restriction somewhere. Enough water "seeps" by the restriction and pressure then builds up. Open a faucet and you get a sudden high pressure surge until the pressure on the downstream side of the restriction is relieved. Then nothing but a trickle past the restriction.
Logic then dictates that Dave is more than likely correct in his diagnosis.
Will check that out latter today.
Thanks for the suggestions.

How's the pressure and flow at the outside connection and through your hose?
When we run into low pressure "city water" connected to the coach, we generally fill our water tank, even if it is only at a trickle, and then we just use the onboard pressure system for showers, etc. when sufficient water has accumulated in the tank. Annoying, but it works with poor pressure.
Spent the day at Fernandina... Not a cloud in the sky.
Going to work on the problem after the trip.
Clearly a problem with water flowing from the city connection in the RV.
Will fill up tanks and use internal pump for Sat.
Thanks for you time and thoughts.
