If I turn on the water heater the pump does as the OP describes. I found the over pressure valve dribbling so slow the water was vaporizing below the valve. As so the hot water is too hot. Have not looked into how to turn down the temperature yet.
If you have a Atwood the normal temp t-stat is 140*F.....if it fails to stop heating process the ECO (high temp) shuts down heating at 180*F
IF the ECO opens you would get a 'Fault Light' (Red light on panel) and no more heating until YOU reset fault
If you have a Suburban the normal and high temp t-sat function same as Atwood except YOU would have to manually reset the High Temp t-stat
So your water heater is probably functioning correctly ----140*F water is HOT but that is how they extend the hot water use.
Course if you have an Atwood XT model.....normal t-stat is 160*F
Everything else same. Mixing valve controls hot water to system at 130*F
