Random loss of water pressure at one sink

[Midnightmoon]

Good morning all. We are currently boondocking and having an issue with our lavatory sink. It will work fine a few times and then will randomly have no pressure. It will not even turn the pump on when turning on the handles. Issue occurs on both the hot and cold side. Then, it will work fine again for a while.

All other sinks in the trailer and the toilet work fine and kick the pump on normally. My wife just mentioned to me that there was a time on our last trip when we were hooked to campground water that she believes it happened also, but she dismissed it as being a temporary loss of pressure on the campground system.

I'm thinking an internal blockage or failure in the lavatory faucet itself somewhere between the handles and the spigot.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You might check the aerator for restriction. If it does it with both hot and cold and when connected to the hose, it sounds like a faucet or aerator restriction to me, and most likely the aerator.

That's a good point. I'll check the aerator when we get back to the trailer. Thanks
