Atwood Hot Water Heater

If water temp is set to high, the switch will trip. Make sure to get air out of all line by running water from each location -facuets, shower, outside water before trying to use the unit. The slower the water passed thru the heater, the hotter the water. Faucet partly open to hot - hotter water. Faucet full open to hot, water not as hot because more water is flowing through the heater. I Hate my Atwood. Thinking about swapping it out but will cost in excess of $1000
And if the water flows slowly enough, it won't start the heater or keep it fired up. I have one in my stick house, and it took a while to get it dialed in. Rule one is no faucet flow restrictors allowed. Rule two is have ample, steady flow. I suspect that the water pumps used in TTs might be part of the problem. To me, there's no excuse for these things performing so poorly in RV applications. It's not like the technology is new.
