I’m trying to figure out how water system works for sink and toilet. We have a 20 gallon fresh water tank, pump comes on and pressures up but no water at faucet. I assumed that when connected to water at city water connections I would not need to pump from tank. To use faucet does it come from tank or outside water source like the toilet? If tank, why no water at faucet. Toilet is getting water and working fine.
Normally, city water would supply pressure without the pump for all fixtures. Probably a valve or two involved as well. I have a tank valve so city water will go into tank or pressurize the system. May also be a supply valve near your water heater or near the sink. Your situation sounds like maybe a valve is closed.

No water heater. I am thinking the valves in the faucet are bad. I began removing fittings below faucet and getting water to this point.
That's unusual but anything is possible if the water system has ever frozen with any trace of water in it. You can get a replacement faucet from Camping World or about any RV place but it may not match what you have. Even a residential one from Home Depot/Lowes can be pretty easily plumbed in.

I thought the same thing. It’s a 2005 and don’t believe it was used or pressurized much.

Yes that is how mine works. The city water connection bypasses the tank and supplies water pressure directly to the faucet. So when hooked up to city water, the pump should not come on. Do you get water when not connected to city water and are drawing from the tank?

I’ve got some more trouble shooting to do. I plan to undo hoses and plumb to where I can catch water or divert some where outside van.
I am not getting any water from tank or city water.
Turns out faucet is/was clogged up, or something. Removed faucet and blew air and water in and out for sometime until I eventually got water flow from the cold side. Not sure what happened but at least I know it is working for quick weekend trip. Plan on replacing faucet with this one.
