No hot water in bathroom

On our last camping trip we had no hot water at both the shower and the bathroom sink. The water was hot at the kitchen sink, but only warm else where......any idea why?
  • Did you have similar pressure and volume at the shower & bath sink, as the kitchen sink? Is the kitchen sink nearest to the hot water heater?
  • I'm with Scott on this one. You probably would have remembered opening a hotwater bypass valve on the HW tank. The outside shower faucets are an easy one to forget to turn off. The cold water then back feeds to the hot water side.

    How would there be any hot water? He would probably be looking at a new hot water heater.

    X3 on turning the outside shower valves off.
  • Outside shower is on. Did that myself this spring. Same result.
  • Thanks everyone for you input on no hot water @ shower and bathroom sink. We washed our dog at the outside shower on our last trip in September and forgot to turn off the water valves .
