First, check and make sure your shower is turned off at the faucets, not just the hand held shower head. Also, if you have an outside shower or faucet, make sure the same is true there too. Turn the faucets off, both of them.
This is the absolute #1 reason for warm, and not hot, water.
If that does not take care of the problem, let us know.
Absolutely wrong. I have no idea where this wives tale comes from. I have 34 years as a RV tech and have fixed HUNDREDS of warm instead of Hot problems. NEVER, in 34 years have I ever seen a outside or inside faucet with a shower head shut off and the valves open causing warm instead of Hot water. There are reasons for that, I have NEVER seen a RV shower head with a POSTIVE leak proof shut off. They ALL will drip even with the shut off button closed---THAT is a design of RV shower heads to prevent excess pressure blowing out the thin wall flexible shower hose. Since the outside shower head are NOT leak/positive shut off, IF you have left any valve OPEN, you will see the water dripping out of the area.
The Number 1 cause of this complaint is the BYPASS valves are not in the correct position. Doug
This is where I differ with you. My previous camper (Keystone) did this on both the inside and outside shower. We changed the shower head on the inside of the camper. When this happened the first time (outside shower on our maiden voyage), we called the dealer. It was Saturday morning after a disappointing Friday night with no hot water. He told us to check the outside shower. We did, and we had hot water.
I tested the same with the inside shower when we swapped out shower heads and it did the same thing. So we always made sure the faucets were always off and never had a problem again.
