Wow! I just de-winterized and had the same issue as Happy Tripping. Shower/toilet worked fine, trickle from sink faucet. I thought o-oh, now what have I done? Before the cuss words came out, I thought I'd check the R-Pod Forum. Yup, someone had the exact same problem. Reading the possible cures, I tried the easiest one first and TA-DAH! Problem solved!
R-Poders, you all rock! Happy camping!!

Also worth unscrewing the aerator/filter at the end of the kitchen faucet. Mine was clogged and causing reduced flow.

We are getting our pod ready to sell and are checking out all the systems. Since we dry camp, we never use the water system and discovered that after a short spurt of water nothing came out of the faucets. I followed you advice and took the kitchen faucet apart - lots of calcification! All kinds of grit clogged the screen of the faucet. Washed that out and ran the water for a bit and it is fine. The hot water faucet in the bath works, but not the cold. I couldn't find a way to open it up enough to clean it. Do you have to take off the whole panel around those faucets, taking out the caulking and hoping not to damage the wall? Or is there another way to get in there?
Thanks!

I found the screen on my faucet completely blocked. Once cleaned it worked just find.

This could get messy. I'm not familiar with the 177's layout. Can you access the back side of the faucet? If so, try removing the water line (turn the pump off and release all pressure first) and see if you can then force some air through from the front side to blow out any crud that is in there. If you don't have a compressor, a can of compressed gas duster such as Dust Off should suffice.
