Resolved Troubleshoot poor fresh water flow in Brookside travel trailer

[Glen Kenney]

I have a 2008 Brookside (by Sunnybrook) Model 303SLS travel trailer. My wife and friends are presently parked in a COE campsite and hooked up to the park's fresh water supply. Pressure and flow at the supply are good. However, there is only a very low flow rate (almost a trickle) at the sink, the shower, and the lavatory. I do not have any plumbing drawings to help isolate the issue, but what would cause this problem at all three locations?

The typical cause is a house water filter needing to be replaced. Do you have a filter in between your city water supply and fresh tank?

I figure there MUST be a filter but I don't know where it is. FWIW, we are not using the tank or pump, but instead are hooked directly to the park's water supply. Where would the filter be?

Where would the filter be?

I don't know the answer to that. Typically for motorhomes it's in a wet bay where the connections are. I don't know your specific RV but maybe someone else can help. Also look under a kitchen sink, etc.

The brochure doesn't list an in-house water filtration system (doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist ?) Do you have a pressure regulator? If so, take it off and see if it makes a difference. Perhaps you need to clean it out or buy a new one. Here's the brochure

Found a plugged (piece of plastic) screen in the water inlet connection! Thanks!
