The valve under the bath sink is to fill the water tank, that valve is on the floor of the vanity in the carpet.  If it is open, your house hose is filling the tank, and the sink pressures would be low.  On my coach if I have city water from the hose, I turn off the pump, or it tries to cycle when we open a faucet.

Have you thought to take off the sink spout end aerators and clean them?  Same with the drain down wall fitting in the shower, that takes a large open end wrench or cresent wrench?

Not sure I would turn on a pump and open sink faucets and walk away.  The 12 volt water pump should develop head pressure, and cycle off.  It should cycle on as needed as the pressure drops.  If the pump is turning off then it thinks the system is pressurized.  You said you have pressure to the kitchen sink, but are you sure that you filled the tank, by having the valve under the vanity sink on the floor open?  Check your dash screen for tank water levels.

In my owner's manual there are instruction for filling, and using the 12 volt system, and city water, and how to winterize, and do the spring start up.  Maybe some clues there to help.

This morning I turned on the pump and opened the bathroom sink faucet. After breakfast I went out to see what was happening. All I got was a few drips. Obviously water is not getting to the bathroom sink faucets. Any more valves to turn? I found three drain valves under the hot water heater and closed all three. I found the valve under the bathroom sink and turned it. What else?

Have you considered removing the cold line from the faucet in the bathroom an see if you get water flowing into a pail. This could then eliminate a possible faucet problem. Also, I found that blowing out water lines in old rigs best done when the lines were not connected to faucets. This way I was not shoving debris into the faucets and causing a clog. Usually had pails with hoses in them around each sink when blowing out old lines. Just a thought.
