Do you have water at the bathroom sink, shower and toilet?

Try taking the end on the faucet off and see if it is clogged. Sometime debris get in there.

In the 5 years we have had our 177 maybe 3 times have we added water at a location that was not from our well.  We also bring an additional 10 gallons with us for drinking in case we run out during our longer trips.  Fortunate in that we have never had this problem.  Maybe due to particulates in the water?  Maybe due to chemicals added to city/municipal water that breaks down over time that causes the tap to plug?  Never even looked to see if there is any debris in our faucet.  When we can get the snow melted and get back to our pod on the back 20 I am going to check this out and report back.

Other than when I am sanitizing the fresh water tank, I use an inline water filter. Any water that goes in goes through that filter, so I am not adding particulates to our fresh water tank. When we are connected to the city water connector, the inline filter helps there also.

We have not had our R-Pod long enough to say for sure that it will avoid issues. There is the hot water tank and its anode rod. When I drained the hot water tank after our trip, there was a lot of sediment in there, probably from the anode rod.
