Low Hot Water Pressure

I have an 06 Alfa See Ya. In Quartzsite, I tried to get one more day before filling up with fresh water but I let the pump start sputtering. Now, I have very low hot water pressure. It seems to be okay when I have shore water ... any ideas?

And you're satisfied with the pump pressure (no outside connection) when on the tank for both C and H as well, correct?

Sometimes it's something really simple. Check the screen on the pump for sediment/hard water deposits. (Aerators at the faucets too) Hope it's an easy fix for more enjoyment.

Pump maybe has lost it's prime or sucking air. Try disassembly, cleaning, some silicone on the surfaces and then tighten everything evenly and well upon re-assembly.

Maybe a defective hot water check valve.
