Need help with a water pressure problem. On the 4th day camping and using city water hookup as usual, we lost all water pressure at the faucets. Everything okay from camp tap to the inlet at trailer, but just a trickle from faucets. Filled the Fresh water tank and flow from water pump is fine. Anyone have this happen? Don't know what could fail just on the City water side of the system. Does the water control handle just abruptly fail? No leaks anywhere. Any ideas for a fix before I contact dealer for repairs which will likely end our camping season while waiting.

It wouldn’t be something to end your season

Yes the valve could have failed. Is it filling your fresh tank up?

Unhook the city water to alleviate the pressure and turn the valve back and forth the. Reattach and try

The valve should never be turned when water is hooked up

I filled the fresh tank from the unpressurized side so don't know if it would fill from the valve side. I hadn't messed with the valve at all, I was in the kitchen washing some dishes when the pressure just dropped to a trickle. I'll cycle the valve with no hose hooked up and see what happens. Thanks, we can finish the season using the fresh water tank if we need to, don't want to wait on the shop to get to it.

Has anyone replaced that valve or even removed it and just use the non-pressurize fill if using the fresh tank? connecting the city water line only to that intake?
 
If you are using one of those screw-on in-line pressure regulators like Camco, remove it and see if the problem goes away. Those things can cause a lot of problems.
 
Could be a clogged strainer in the supply line. Check at the city water connection, the inlets of water filters and pressure regulators often have screens. I’ve had this happen more than once.
