Low kitchen faucet pressure

The water pressure on the kitchen faucet on my 2018 3811MS is low, Other faucets are fine. I run my water regulator at 40 psi, On my previous Sandpiper there was an in-line connection that I could unscrew and clean out when pressure got real low. I cannot find anything similar on the Montana. Is there something I can access to see if the line is restricted?

On the end of that faucet you will find a removeable aerator. Unscrew and check it for either mineral deposits or debris from the tank. Just be aware that the aerator disassembles in 2-4 pieces and it needs to be reassembled in the correct order to work. I had to again pull ours apart last week as the water flow stopped completely. A 10 minute soak in vinegar fixed it --- until the next time (the bathroom faucet is next)

In addition to the one at the faucet end, we had a restriction device in the line where the flexible hose attaches to the pex line. It was very difficult to access so once I removed it to clean it, I threw it in the trash. No problem since.

Where was this located on your RV? Might have one on mine.

It was located at the point that the line from the faucet is connected to the pex line. On ours it was at the end of the flexible hose from the faucet. If you disconnect you will more than likely have full pressure coming out of the pex line, the flow restrictor should be at the connection end of the faucet line.
