Water heater: warm, not hot

Question

We have an Atwood Suburban sw6d that gets the shower water warm but not hot. I replaced the anode rod in the spring but I didn't help and just look through the tips here before confirming that the outside shower is properly turned off. Any other ideas? Gas flow is working for a properly to the furnace and the fridge. Thanks for your help!

Is it Atwood or Suburban?  Two totally different brands.Anote rod and model number seems to indicate its a Suburban.  Check the bypass valves.

If it's model that has a mixing valve, it may be on the fritz.The Anode has nothing to do with heating - it just prevents corrosion to the glass lined metal tank.
