Not sure if its a plugged hose or the inlet valve? Is the threaded plastic thingie the one hose goes to the inlet valve???

I wonder if rust has anything to do with it?

I stopped at this one Fairgrounds Camp ground and filled my water tank with water before I realize the water was really rusty and some did get in to the toilet.

However, I then drained the tank and flushed it and refilled it with good water

Yes. The threaded piece with the PIA clamp is the water inlet. The hose with the easy off hose clamp goes to the spray nozzle. With the water supply off, unclamp the spray nozzle to see if it is plugged up. Does water flow properly when using the foot valve?
 
Does the kitchen sink and the bath sink faucet aerators run slow also?

Rusty water in the camper can and will clog the faucet strainers if it is bad enough. It can also clog the toilet sprayer and the shower head.

For the rust reason and other things that come from campground water, I always filter any campground water that goes into the camper. Either added to the fresh tank or city water. I had one campground hydrant plug solid two of my filters just trying to fill the fresh tank. This does not happen often, but it does happen.

I would say, odds are higher that your sprayer head is plugged more than the actual hose. I would try unclogging the sprayer first before unhooking the hose at the toilet flush valve. And if I recall right, the sprayer hose goes to the vacuum vent fitting on the top center back of the toilet, then from the vacuum vent to the flush valve.

Your hand is covering the end of the sprayer to help tell us how the hose come off the spray head. Some are more easy then others.
Post a pic of the entire sprayer.
 
As usual, John, you are spot on. The head of the sprayer probably just unscrews for easy cleaning/replacing. Much easier than unclamping at the valve.
 
I had a filter but I was filling the water tank and realized it was rusty, I drained the tank and flushed refilled at another site. I used a little white vinegar in the water too.
Kitchen, bath and shower are fine but some of the rusty water did get it the potty. The sprayer does NOT unscrew, tried it so I will have to remove it at the clamp

The water flows slowly when using the foot pedal
