Water pump / hot water issue

I just returned last night from a week's trip in my 2018 Vegas 24.1. Had no problems when using fresh or city water during the trip. Today I went out to clean up and wash some dishes. I am using fresh water so I turned on the water pump and the water starts out with decent pressure but quickly subsides into barely a trickle. I checked the fresh water tank gauge and it shows 2/3 full. Also, I see the control panel light up for the tankless water heater, but no hot water ever comes out of the faucet. Any ideas?

Check the suction strainer for your pump. Probably full of crap.

You will be amazed at the manufacturing crap you will pull out of that strainer.

Its at the inlet supply hose for the water pump. You can unscrew the cap my hand and remove / clean screen. Mine was hidden under the electrical wires since my fuse box is located in the same spot.

Turn water off first (knob right next to water tank so it dont leak much). Use a rag or two to soak up water.

I dont know for sure on your model but many of them are under the bed. Turn on your water and listen for the water pump then remove an access panel or two and confirm location.
