No water pressure in bathroom sink

I just picked up my Laredo 325RL 3 weeks ago. First trip out. Everything goes fine until I go to clear our the winterized water lines. I don't have very much if any water pressure coming from the sink in the bathroom. It's only the sink, I have pressure in the bathroom shower, kitchen sink, and the out door faucet. I have checked the water lines under the sink and they look to be straight. I've tried to unscrew the small screen coming from the faucet and it seems to not come want to come out.
The pressure is just barely a very very small stream coming from either hot or cold side.
I am hooked up to city water at this time. I have not Reyes the fresh water tank yet.
Before I go in under the camper belly and pull the panel to check the water lines. Not sure if I will even be able to see anything. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

If your faucet is the OEM one, there is a removable screen on the faucet. Chances are that it's obstructed. You might want to use a pair of pliers to get a better grip and remove the strainer to clean the screen. That's probably your issue. GOOD LUCK !!!

Seems like the bathroom faucet is the favorite gathering place for trash.

Problem solved. As you were saying I did take the screen or should I say screens. There were 5 screens stacked on top of each other. I also cleaned out the white piece of plastic. I will call it a diffuser of sorts. All works fine now.
Do you think in. Need all (5) screens?
Thanks for all help.

The "white piece of plastic" limits (restricts) the volume of water that can flow from the faucet.( a good thing if dry camping or in water restriction areas.)
The screens aerate the water and catch debris as you have found out. Faucet manufacturers use different aerators to give the appearance of more water and to create less splash. If it came with five screens more than likely it has been tested to work best with that number. (Unless it was made on a Monday or Friday) Your choice, but if it is working fine now ..... I would leave all the screens in. JM2˘, Hank

You probably only need one or two screens. I checked the aerator on my new Bullet's kitchen faucet for debris and I think it had 2 screens. You can try different numbers to find what works for you.

Next time (if you didn't do it this time), put drain stopper in down/closed position before you take apart the screen. Just in case you drop parts, you won't loose them down the drain.

Wow! You were a lifesaver! We are on Rv #3; so used to de-winterizering. This is a new unit; bought it in the fall...so we were perplexed when we had water pressure in every faucet except the bathroom sink..your post was spot on! We took apart the screen and all sorts of blue shavings from the plumbing line had clogged the screen, Thank you!!
