Hmmm. I went through this and a number of other problems with a
recent, if not new, gowesty faucet. I ended up taking the faucet out
and lubing it with silicone through some small hole I found with the
knob removed from the top. Then, separately, I took the utility
connection off the side of the camper and COMPLETELY disassembled the
brass fittings until I got down to the stuck checkvalve (it's back
there, not up at the faucet) for the city water.

There is no checkvalve in the faucet.

  Everything is working properly since then.
