Here's a question I've been meaning to ask all season. Our kitchen sink in the 26L has barely a trickle of flow on both the hot and cold water sides. This didn't bother me while camping because it forced my family to practice good water conservation behavior. Worst thing that happened is we did the dishes in the shower a couple of times.

But now that I've winterized the plumbing I'm wondering if there is a block in the pipe somewhere, clogged filter, pinched pipe in the slideout, etc.? When hooked up to city water the trickle at the kitchen sink remained--and flow to every other fixture was fine as usual. And I know there is *some* flow as I was able to get the pink stuff to come through both sides at the kitchen sink.

Any thoughts? I know this is likely to be something simple and it's just my plain laziness that has prevented me from figuring it out.

thanks everyone,
Jim

Start with the faucet aerator first if there is one, b4 digging into the lines... I have seen countless aerators plugged somewhat...

Unscrew the screen on the tip of the faucet and clean it I believe your problem is because - its clogged.

this is why you folks get paid the big bucks.

that was it. I had the aerator off one of the first couple of times it happened while camping and didn't give it a close enough look. Plus I think I was in a hurry with a sink full of dishes. Who knew there were all those tiny little holes in those cheap plastic discs?

thanks guys. I owe you one.
