What should I do if my water pressure is too low?
Turn the water back on and see if there is plenty of pressure and flow. If this is the case, then the problem is on your side. Also check the obivious. Make sure that there is not some restriction in the hose (like a kink between the hose bib and your RV). Usually, you will find that the water pressure is just fine.
What should the pressure be on my water main?
To get an accurate reading of your water pressure, you can test the pressure by attaching a water pressure gauge to the outdoor hose spigot closest to the water main or pressure regulator. Recommended water pressure is 52 to 75 pounds per square inch.

What should I do if my well pressure is low?
It should not take more than three to five minutes for your well pump to fill up the pressure tank. If it is taking longer than this, then you are also likely to experience a noticeable reduction in water pressure. Some of the other indications that the water pump is failing include loud or odd sounds and higher than normal electrical bills.
What to do if there is no water in your well?
Another very common issue is the pressure tank losing its captive air pressure. This is easy to check. Turn off power to the well pump and run water after the pressure tank or in the house until there is no water pressure left. Using a tire pressure gauge check the Schrader valve on top of the pressure tank.
