Kitchen Faucet weak water flow

Hello All,
Our kitchen faucet is getting very little water flow, it had the original faucet that came with it, replaced that and still same issue. I assume something is stuck in the water line which I can see very little of under the sink as it goes into the cabinet. Our trailer has the spray foam insulation so do I have to cut into this to find the water source? Does not matter if you try hot or cold water or hooked up to water source or pump same issue.
We have a 2014 21C, is there a schematic available so I know what exactly is under the foam?
All suggestions appreciated .

Smooth travels and THANKS,

Steve

Have you checked the strainer in the faucet? Is the flow low in all locations such as toilet, sink, outside faucets?

I checked the original faucet for that before I replaced it, have not checked the one I just installed but worth looking at. The only other place we have water is the bathroom faucet and that works fine.

Thanks and keep the suggestions coming.

If it's both the hot and cold I would think that the problem is before the hot and cold lines that go under the trailer. But you don't have any problem with hot or cold in the bathroom?

I would look for a kink in the pex tubbing somewhere.

On my 21C the water lines travel up the DS above the floor to the hot water tank, across the floor to the corner of the bed and then dive down through the floor and run along the front of the gray water tank and down the side before turning up and going straight up into the inside of the cabinet.

They're well protected and I can't see that you'd likely have to expose them. I'd try checking the flow from the faucet again for debris in the strainer etc.

Hey Steve
In addition to checking the strainer, disassemble the aeraor and look at it very closely. You may find it plugged up with small pieces of sand or grit. With the aerator off and all other faucets off, turn the water on and see if any junk comes out of spout. Then if no joy, consider removing the whole assembly and checking where the water is mixed before coming through the spout. Like others have related, I doubt your problem is very far down the lines.
