Cold water? Hot water? Both? City water? Tank water with pump? Frozen?

So many possibilities: a clog would be a rare one.

I can't believe the toilet is clogged and if it's the hot or cold remove the aerator, but I'm guessing it's the sink drain. Go under the sink an remove the drain and clean it out

Many RVs use waterless traps that must not be snaked. Don’t know about your model. Suggest a more surgical approach by taking it apart.

Wouldn't those be lines FROM the bathroom?

That's easy! Unscrew and clean the aerator at the end of the faucet.

I guess we must figure it worked, and doesn't require an answer

Absolutely the aerator. In case you are unfamiliar, this is the end of the faucet, right where the water comes out. Unscrew that. Inside you’ll fine plastic part(s) and a screen. These things catch bits of calcium deposits and sometimes pieces of pex from the build (because they build these about as carefully as a bear digging through a garbage bin).

Go ahead and do your kitchen sink next. Then your shower. Poof! You’ve got good water pressure again.
