Water heater

I have a 2014 wild wood 26 ft travel trailer and I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the hot water heater. The water is warm at the best. I checked the valves and the cold water valve is closed. Is there a manual adjustment or do I need to buy something? Thanks for any help

  • I have an old attwood, I believe suburban are similar,
    but they come with a set temperature thermostat. Like 140 deg
    on mine. I did come across some literature mentioning
    that you can purchase one that is adjustable so you can make it
    hotter if you want.

    Or maybe your thermostat is mis functioning. Not sure of their
    failure modes, but maybe its set temperature has dropped.

    Get a thermometer and check water temp.
  • I have a pentair by pass pump. I also have a pressure regulator on the hose outside. I don't have any outside showers. The winterizing valve is closed too. I'm not sure where to go next
  • As said, make sure your outside and inside showers are shut off at the faucets, not just at the shower head. Also make sure the winterizing bypass valve is closed.
  • Have you made sure the outside shower is off?
    What brand of hwh is it?
    Are you using a water pressure regulator?
