We're getting by - not enjoyable, but it's tolerable. Christmas trip right now.
 
Check to see if there is an inline water filter below the sink. Depending on how they plumbed it, it may be filtering the sink and then on to the fridge.
 
I don't see one. And btw, I'm listing what I know, again (it helps me).
Water pressure (wp) was fine ... in kitchen, bathroom sink, toilet, shower, during our 18-day trip from Oregon to Tx in September. (stayed at several diff campgrounds, hooking up to water at each).
Motorhome spent several weeks at PPLmotorhomes in November (I'm suspicious of them). We asked them to check out a leak in the wet bay - they said they fixed it (when we discovered they didn't fix it, we made them take that charge off the bill).
Next trip - poor water pressure at kitchen sink and bathroom sink and toilet. Shower was ok - never a gushing waterfall. but normal for an RV - we can take showers and even wash our hair.
Pencil stream at sink and bathroom sink, and toilet is unenthusiastic (I keep a cup and a bucket in the shower just in case 😆), but adequate.
We had an RV handyman take a look - he says the fittings are all too small in the wet bay and he wants to rebuild that area. I'm thinking that maybe the PPL folks messed it up.
Anyhow, we're getting by, but I'm thinking too-small fittings - but how is shower doing so much better?
I'm a serious cook, and really hate the pencil stream in the kitchen.
 
I know this is no help, but I just have to tell you about our kitchen faucet that didn't work when we brought our new RV home. All the faucets worked fine except for the kitchen. I would push it one direction for hot- nothing. Push it in the direction of cold- nothing. Trouble shot everything possible and still nothing. Was on the phone with the dealer for I don't know how long. FINALLY- I think by accident- I pushed the handle sideways and guess what?!? It worked. Just like yours looks like in the picture. Jeez. Sometimes wonder how I survive in the real world.....

Oh yeah- we have the exact same fixture. If everything is working right, the heighth of the stem shouldn't matter.

I have often found hotel shower faucets to be a challenge to operate. 🤣
