We have a 28 foot Coachman Leprechaun and have hot water in the kitchen and bathroom. When showering the hot water comes on cold, then turns on very hot and then back to cold. There must be a valve shut but I can’t find it.
ANSWER: Greetings Bobbi thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
If you have an outside shower on your RV you might want to check to make sure that main water valves are not turned on and that the shower was not shutoff using the shower head shutoff valve, if it is it could be what is affecting the interior shower of the RV.
Last but not least the water heater bypass valves used to winterize your RV may still be partially set to bypass the water heater. A factory installed water heater bypass valve will normally be a well marked valve in the water compartment of your RV. An Aftermarket Water Heater Bypass Kit is normally installed on the back of the RV Water Heater
itself, you need to check these valves.
I hope that one of the suggestions above help you fix your RV's hot water problems.
