Welcome aboard! Let us know more about you and your set up. What are you towing and what are you towing with?

For the water pressure, it's possible that the source has low pressure. You might put a pressure tester on the spigot you're connecting to to test that first. We've been in parks with low pressure (30-35 psi) so not much else you can do except maybe fill your fresh water tank and use the pump. You might do that anyway to see if the pump provides better pressure as a comparison.

Are you using a pressure regulator? Is it adjustable? Where's it set?

That's where I'd start. Give us more details and I'm sure there will be some good suggestions.

Most Montanas have at least one (some have two) screens in the kitchen faucet assembly. You'll have to take it apart to find out, clean the screen or screens and you'll probably be good.

Sorry, I should have read your post better. Somehow I read that you had low pressure in the bathroom as well as the kitchen.

DQDick is likely correct. I also think they put a reducer in that fixture so the pressure is low when new.

Welcome!
In our 2018.5 3791RD I never did find a well talked about flow restrictor in the kitchen faucet or lines. Like you, we had plenty of pressure in the bath and shower but very little at the kitchen sink. I never liked the kitchen faucet that came with our unit, it’s cheap and we hated the way the spray mode worked, so I changed it out with a nicer, better quality household faucet. Much nicer and problem solved.

Here is a thread about the low pressure in the kitchen.
