Thanks to all. I did call Atwood and they confirmed the normal 140 degree non adjustable temp. We don't have kids; I was just thinking it was very hot.

You have two t-stats.......one is set for 140*F (marked t-stat on foam cover) the other is set for 180*F (marked ECO on foam cover....Energy Cut Out.....basically high temp t-stat)
The 140*F t-stat controls the normal ON/OFF of electric element or gas burner. The ECO only operates when the normal t-stat fails to open and temp goes to high.
The adjustable t-stat would replace the normal t-stat (The ECO would still remain in case of high temp)
