Water pressure was fine this morning when I woke up at 24 degrees outside. It's 66 degrees now, so things are warming up (3 p.m.). Hoses and outside faucet are wrapped. Then about 11 a.m. I noticed there was hardly any water when flushing the toilet. Kitchen sink is fine. Checked the shower and vanity sink faucet, they are super low too. So it's just the bathroom, not the kitchen. It's low for both the hot and cold water. Not really enough to take a shower in or flush. When using the water pump, pressure is great, but with pump off it's super low. Any thoughts on what it could be? Don't think it is a chill factor since it happened when it was warmer.
I took a flashlight and opened the wall in the basement and looked behind the UDC, nothing leaking, looks normal to me. No kinks. We've been in the same site for six months, so we haven't been moving. Also, I disconnected the outside hose from the UDC to check the flow, all is good, put it back on. I know people have been having problems with the check valve on the hot water heater, but this is the cold water too. We checked that last week and hubby said it was okay.
By the way, hubby is on a trip 3,000 miles away for the next 2 1/2 weeks. So I am on my own with this. I've done a bunch of plumbing in my stick house (change faucets, water hoses, traps), but I don't really want to change any valves or such down under and screw something up in the Rv, because I don't have other two bathrooms to use if there is a problem and Rvs just seem a bit more delicate (things break easier).
Thanks,
