While you are at it, clean the screens in the faucets.

Cleaning everything, everywhere, won't change pressure at all...may help improve flow, but not pressure. Most factory pumps are low flow pumps (2.0 to 2.3 gals min)and have a built in fixed pressure switch. Some have a small stainless steel screw on the head of the pump that can adjust cut in/cut out pressure points? If yours has this you might be able to raise the pressure a little bit.
Now to flow rate...you could increase the gallon flow per min with a bigger pump...say 3.0 or even a variable up to 5.7. The limitation however is likely the size of the water lines themselves...they can only flow a certain amount of fluid. If cleaning everything out doesn't improve your flow and larger pump may be in order....Brian

ours got real bad on a trip to lookout ..
on the top of the pump , there is a cover that unscrews . a screen type of filter is under it . if that is the same pump that is on our 845 ..
(disclaimer to prevent being flamed )
one of the few times we 'hooked' up to the water at a campground , i noticed a pressure difference too ...
just 2 different critters

Most, but not all, pumps are adjustable. I replaced the old pump in my TC with a SHURflo Whisper King Demand Fresh Water Pump. It is adjustable up to 30 PSI.
I also added an Accumulator-Tank, similar to this one Accumulator-Tank. I bought my tank from a Home Builder store, for less than $40. I think both are great, and recommend the upgrade.
I also drilled out the orfice, in the ket faucet.

Another thing to note is the restricter washers they install in some lines. The shower hose in ours had a hole about the size of the lead in a pencil. Our kitchen sink had one similar in it too I believe. maybe they install those to save water?

These are the ones I drilled out to a larger diameter.
