Replacing Hot Water ByPass Valve
It seems our hot water bypass valve is shot. We are on our way to Bend Or. and Coach Master's in Bend has the valve but they are week out. So if you have know of a mobile service or if you have done...

That is why I ask how you knew the bypass was bad and suggested the check valve.
Glad you got it fixed.. I have a 3-valve system, no check valve.
Another issue I do not have.... I read about folks who use the cut off valve on the shower head (or another they installed as I did) to conserve water in the shower complaining about how it's all cold when they restore flow.
Same valve is the cause I suspect. At very low flow rates there is not enough pressure to open the valve, so the line from the mixing valve to the shower head.. Fills with cold water only.
