LOW WATER PRESSURE
We have a 2010 3400RL and have good pressure in the bath vanity, shower and toilet. The kitchen is much less and stays the same if on city water or the internal pump.
I know that there have been topics on this problem but my search for any solution has not been successful. When I have used the search engine I am told that nothing could be found on this topic.
when I removed the panel off from the convenience center I would have to say what I found is a plumbers nightmare with all the couplings and elbows for the water supply.
One thing I did find is there is a lot of wasted space behind this panel. I cut off 9 inches from the panel and gained that much in floor space so all was not in vain.
My thought is somewhere there is something restricting the water flow.
Any input on this topic would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Allan Olson [aka] kountry traveler

If the flow is the same on hot and cold, it may be the faucet aerator.

Issue with the full-stream/spray selector of the faucet head?
I think that I read on here before that there is a flow restrictor of some sort where the hose of the faucet head screws onto the underside of the faucet assembly that messes up as well, but not certain, as I have not had mine apart.

Our kitchen faucet had two screens in two different places.

My kitchen pressure was also very weak. Cleaned the aerator and pressure and flow was much better. The screen and little holes in the aerator were mostly blocked.

Don't have much of a problem with the kitchen, but when we started this two month junket, the shower suddenly decided to start making a moaning noise. Never had before, but I decided to take it apart & found it had a flow restricting washer where the hose connected to the head. Never thought anyone would think these were needed in an RV or trailer! Couldn't remove it completely, so I drilled it out. Now there's great flow from the shower head as well as no noise. I'll bet there's also a restricting washer in the kitchen faucet head as well.
