Suburban hot water heater luke warm problem solved
Just wanted to share this info from this past weekend camping trip for anyone having problems with Suburban hot water heater and only having lukewarm temps. I learned a long time ago to always trouble shoot the simple things first. Got to campsite friday afternoon. Hooked up to shore power and water. made sure hot water tank was flowing full then turned on propane. An hour later water was lukewarm and never got hotter in the bathroom and kitchen. This was our 3rd trip in this TT. After last trip couple weeks ago i "red neck" winterized by blowing out water lines including outside shower and draining all tanks. Our previous TT did not have outside shower. I pulled out the trusty iphone and googled the problem. several posts into the search i found it. the cold faucet on the outside shower was open mixing cold water with hot. with the shower head and hose not attached i never thought about the cold faucet being left on. problem solved and we had hot water the rest of the trip. Live and learn...
