Agreed. Frustrated after working on this for several hours without resolve. RV was in winter storage. Abbreviated winterization. Water blown out and emptied. No antifreeze. Indoor storage. Put water in potable tank. Did not sanitize. One night outing. As I’m reading again my manual I may not have had all faucets on long enough. Will try that now

Year/Make/Model RV will get you better aimed answers.

For water to flow from the running water pump the FW tank isolation valve must be open and the antifreeze suction inlet must be closed. At least one hot and one cold water valve should be open for several minutes to let air get pumped out as the water is pumped in. Once you get good flow at one faucet close it and open other faucets.

If you never get any water flow you may have a frozen/split pipe in the suction line (if you don't see water flowing out underneath the RV - that would be a discharge line break) or the pump itself may have froze and become damaged.
