Is your winterization valve closed if not, you are sucking air.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Also take off areoator off of tap and clean it. It only takes a very small piece of dirt to block the water coming out of the tap... Take care to remember what order you took it apart.

There is a plastic "filter" on the inlet side of my pump.  If the cap isn't tight enough the pump pulls air, hand tighten should be enough.

I noticed on mine when I drain the fresh water tank after arriving back home from a trip-   the next first use is gurgly and sometimes the pump doesn't want to shut off.  After a few minutes and opening and closing a faucet it purges the air, clears up and works fine.    Never had that in other RVs I've owned and am a little puzzled by it in the rpod.
