I have for the last 18 months blown out water lines after each trip and to winterize the 179 but encountered a problem this time. I applied ~ 35psi to the water lines through the city water plug and the system inside the trailer pressurized. The water in the bathroom lines were blown out but when I turned on the kitchen lines there was no water being forced out of either the hot or cold water lines. I'm not aware of any shut off valve to the kitchen lines and I've never had a problem in the past. I did have pressure to the low water drain valves and as far as I can tell there are no leaks or loss of air pressure
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Check the faucet end filter to see if it is plugged. Do you get water from the outside shower? If not then the problem may lie between the pump and the kitchen area. If you do, then the problem is likely the faucet filter is plugged.

This is probably the most common problem reported with R-Pods. |

You know, as you get older you tend to draw on past experience to help you solve problems. Well, this time that experience failed. About 2 years ago I was plugged into water/elec and the same thing happened. And it was a clogged aerator also. I just remembered the incident and checked the filter and yep, it was plugged.
I guess I'll chalk this up to another, yet again, senior moment. thanks for the responses though, I appreciate the group brain!

At least it was something simple.

Also, if you have the caps off the tank and low drain points, no air will come out of the sinks since all the air is blowing out under the pod....don't ask me how I figured that one out
