Loss or water pressure and temperature water Heater.

Loss of water pressure and water temperature inside the Motorhome?

Here is what we found out as how-to-fix, the issue. At some point, someone (ME) had turned on the outside shower hose cold and hot water. The Problem was that I had turned off the water flow on the shower head (OUTSIDE), I had turned on the Value water, both Hot & Cold. Then turned off on outside shower head. Doing this kept the water heater set to a low temp. How to FIX. Go outside to the OUTSIDE WATER HOSE and turn off using the outside "VALUES" Hot and Cold as this will let water flow into the heater for heating. Turning water shower out off on hose caps for use only short-term. BUT ALWAYS TURN OFF OUTSIDE SHOWER VALES and not the SHOWER HEAD.

The other common water heater problem is that some of 'em (not mine) have a check valve on the outlet.. IT "Limes" up and won't open to let water out.

Or it gets stuck open, then after draining the HWT and winterizing, the pink comes pouring out the opened up HWT which is on bypass through the stuck open check valve.
