A much simpler way to use less water and not get cold water when adjusting the shower temperature is to just turn WH on for 15 mins(in summer) and use just the hot water to shower. There is no mixing required. In fall when temps are cooler I run it for 20 mins then shut it off. On very hot 90 plus summer days and long hot blacktop hiways travel water temps are warmer in FW tank than in insulated WH tank and I just shower with lukewarm water. For me FW is more limiting than battery power when dry camping.
That might work with a 2 dial valve assembly, but mine cycles back to cold when you turn it on and vice versa.
And agreed. I bring along a DW and 2 daughters. FW is our biggest limiting factor for dry camping by a hefty margin.
