We are in our 39th caravan park (I give it 8.5 /10).
We have a new 'van with full ensuite & wash/mach.
We only ever get low pressure at best.
We use an in-line water filter (tried 2 types), and have tried without, no difference.
Do caravan parks put a restrictor on the water supply?
Is there a reducer on the 'van inlet.
I am asking first as I do not want to void any warranties by pulling things apart.

Some parks do suffer from low pressure, but in the main, pressure at most parks is more than adequate, easy to check just turn on the tap before connecting, if there is a good rate of flow from the tap the problem is somewhere in the plumbing in your van, there may be a pressure regulator in your system that is either faulty or is placing too much reduction or it may have a small mesh filter that has become blocked. Just work your way thru the plumbing disconnecting and checking the flow at each disconnected point can't see how you can void any warranties by disconnecting fittings, but would look for the pressure reducer first and check flow after reducer.

David is so right in what he says, I have had the same problem and found it was a very small mesh filter on the fill side, hope that helps.

We had the sme problem and turned out to be a mud wasp nest forced through hose from tap, (sililar in second tap on stand) that blocked the mesh filter on the pressure reducer just after the inlet fitting.
We are about halfway through our round trip.
