Water pump pressure

We bought an 08 Wildcat 32QBBS last year. This weekend we took it out camping. The water pressure has always been low, the pump cycles when you have a faucet on. The water surges barely from the tap. My wife tried to take a shower, that was a disaster, almost no water was coming out of the wand.

I've searched the forum, tried different things. Tank is full, it's not sucking air, inline filter is removed (that helped), flow is better with limiters removed from faucets, etc. I get good flow from the pump at a nearby low point drain. My pump cycles on and off a lot, which causes water to surge from faucets. The hot side is worse than the cold side. It doesn't seem to build pressure before shutting off the pump, so I adjusted the pressure on the pump. It's as high as it can go. That definitely helped. I'm getting flow from the shower now.

My question, how should the water pressure be when using the on-board water supply? Should the pump run continuously when a faucet is on? I'm thinking my pump is weak or the pressure switch is faulty?
