Water flow follow-up: Strainer had a small amount of sand in it along with 4! metal strainers. Put 2 back in. Then removed gooseneck and found a bunch of chips that looked like broken shells.   Cleaned that, hooked up hose, turned on water, and had plenty of water flow. Heading out again next week so will assume it's fixed.

I clean mine out at the start of each season as part of de-winterizing.

Remove the aerator on the faucet and clean it out.  Easy fix.

Has anybody experienced a water flow problem like I had this week? The first night of my trip with my two grandsons I washed the dinner dishes in the kitchen sink and both hot and cold water ran like they should. Three hours later when cleaning up for bed not a drop of water came out of either faucet. This was the case for the rest of the 5 day trip. The water at the bathroom sink worked fine for all five days. Don't use that sink however.

There may be a plug or kink somewhere but how do I locate it? Would using low air pressure to blow out the lines help? Take apart the kitchen faucet?
