Yes I have cleaned the screens. The shower has always worked well the bathroom faucet is acceptable, But the kitchen faucet output is not as big as a pencil. any ideas?

Always like this or recent problem? Same with water pump ON vs. city water? If you have AutoFill and it's enabled, is it currently filling? If so, try the water pump ON.
 
I've seen the seals in those types of faucets swell and restrict flow or a chunk of it is lodged in the feed tube to the head. The quick connect has a small orifice that may catch a piece of rubber from the seal. Does the handle move freely? I had calcium build-up in my shower mixing valve (on the hot side) when I first bought mine. Brrrrrr
 
We had our local usually-can-fix-anything guy take a look at it this afternoon and he couldn't figure it out either. He took everything apart and looked at it. Now I'm wondering about the water pump.
During our 10-day trip to bring it home , I don't recall this being such an issue, although I do seem to recall it was a bit erratic and I put it down to us not really knowing how to operate it. Probably worked fine work when it was hooked up to city water plus the pump. Should not need both. But today we had only the pump.

Yikes! Well, we pulled off the head, took the filter out , so it should be unrestricted flow from the tank to the faucet. But it dribbles - it's been a few years since our last motorhome, and I do recall it's necessary to have lower wp than in a s&b, but it didn't seem annoyingly low. I usually take my showers in the RV - Bob likes the park showers - he's pretty tall.
I'm just trying to figure out how low is too low. The kitchen faucet wp is TOO LOW. Bathroom faucet, not great either.
Can a water pump be "about to go out"?
 
We're could hook it up tomorrow - we're bringing it to the house to load, and we have water and power hookups. If we have the same low flow, then it's not the pump... right?
 
This has the same flow from either the hot or cold? If it is the same for both hot and cold then the problem is in something common between the two. Pull the valve assembly apart and check for debris in the holes and also check in the ball too.
 
I’m on my second Newmar, and both of them have issues with kitchen water pressure. I have no idea why.
 
If that is the only place you are have an issue, I wouldn't think it would be you water pump.
Check your supply lines for a clog. With the spray faucets, it doesn't take much to clog them. I've have to tear ours down to blow out the tiniest of dirt particles.

Get a bucket and pull the supply line off the faucet. Point the supply line into the bucket and have someone turn on the water pump and see what the flow is.

Water pressure isn't great anywhere in the coach - it's about half what our old coach was.
