No running water in kitchen
It’s our first travel trailer and we are getting ready to camp for the first time. We have running water in the bathroom and toilet works but no water from kitchen sink. We hear pump come on. It’s probably a silly error on our part since we are new to RVing. We have a 2018 Cougar 26RBS. Thanks in advance for helping this newbie.

Try removing the aerator at the faucet. Common for debris to collect in the screen and shut off the flow. I see it in bathrooms all the time, not so much the kitchen.

If everything else is working but the kitchen faucet, and you don't have water running everywhere somewhere or a kinked/squashed line, chuckster has pointed you in the right direction. I've had that happen.

If neither the hot or the cold water flows from that faucet than likely good of two lines being damaged is small. I’d be
Looking for a blockage at a connection point common to the faucet

Chuck, my kitchen aerator clogs up nearly every time I connect the city connection. The kitchen faucet is a reaidential American Standard (?) the previous owner bought from Lowe's (found the receipt in a drawer). Easy to drop the aerator, blow it out and reinstall. I have it down so well I can get it back in less than 2 minutes. Never had an issue with sediment in any of the other faucets.

Sometimes it seems there is no rhyme or reason why a certain faucet clogs.

Thank you all for your input. I have taken “newbie” to a new level! I’m embarrassed to say that there was nothing wrong. I just needed to lift and pull to turn faucet on, the lever is for hot and cold. OH BOY!

Traveler, you have joined a group whose members have never embarrassed themselves.....I don't know who was responsible for the TV antenna being bent level with the roof three years ago.
