Old biscuit called it. We have the Atwood XT with mixing valve. Can it

The purpose of the XT series with the Mixing valve is to produce 16 gallons of hot water from a 10 gallon tank. DO NOT REMOVE IT. As Jetcare stated you will have extremely HOT water without the mixing valve. The normal temp of a RV water heater is 130 degrees.
