Unlike so many in the Neighborhood, we connect to city water but we carry sufficient water in case of an emergency. On our first day of camping this week, we had city water. On the second day, I disconnected the city water hose and used it to clean something. Reconnected and went inside.
Shortly thereafter, Margee announced we didn’t have any water in the kitchen. I checked everything to include water from the spigot. Still no water anywhere in the RV despite water from the spigot and despite removing the pressure control valve.
City water check valve was working perfectly with no evidence of debris. Since I couldn’t figure out the source of the problem, it made me question what I know about our RV. Apparently not much I said to myself.
We finally figured out this puzzle. Any ideas from anyone? And 89 rubles for the first correct answer! 👏👏👏
My first thought was that perhaps the kitchen faucet diffuser was plugged but you say you've lost all water from all faucets in the RV? If it's not the city water check valve, there must be some other blockage where the water enters the RV before it gets routed to the other faucet lines.
The answer is obvious, Ed. Come to Morro Bay this weekend and there will be fountain of Lazy Daze knowledge to help you figure out this mystery!

Oh you don’t know how much we’d enjoy that and meet our LD neighbors who we’ve known online for 10 years. 🥺
And 89 rubles for the first correct answer! 👏👏👏
That converts to $1, according to my Apple assistant.
I shared this puzzle with a RV friend and he guessed that I “connected the water hose to the wrong RV!” 😂😂😂
Guess #1 is that you didn't connect your fresh water hose to the Lazy Daze but did connect a regular garden hose that you used to wash something.(I don't think you would use your fresh water hose for cleaning, would you ?)
Guess # 2, you got a kink in the hose.
I don't want no stinkin' rubles, I want ice cream!🤣

1. I used the hose to spray water on the windshield to wash off the remains of Mother Nature.
2. No kink in the hose.
I’d be happy to buy you 89 rubles worth of ice cream which might be a 1/4 cup! But as yet, no winner.
Forget to turn the water back after washing the windshield?

My guess is that you forgot to turn on the water spigot.

😂😂😂 … we still don’t have a winner.
The answer to this puzzle…
While the city water readily streamed out of the spigot, the water pressure was inadequate to open the check valve on the outside connection. Turns out it affected everyone in the campground.
And so it goes.
"...the water pressure was inadequate to open the check valve..."
That's when a pressure gauge comes in handy! ::)
You are not alone.
We hook up to city water when ever it is available. No need to hear and use the pump for no reason.
We keep 2/3 or more water in the fresh water tank, usually fill up when camping for the chlorine vs the well water at the house. Every few months if we didn't use much fresh water I will drain some out and then add some back.
