What are you, part lobster?!?!?! :) LOL Yikes, you obviously don't have the same heating elements/thermostats most of us have in our RVs. Our water heater has one temperature setting: Freakin' hot!!!!
But on the plus side, we've never run out of hot water. We have a 10 gallon water heater that heats with gas and/or electric. We all take the navy showers. I try to get the family to do the same even in the house with limited success (boys are good, girls...not so much).
A bit of a rant: With all of the "green energy" and "conservation" information being disseminated, I'm really surprised there isn't more emphasis on people taking "navy showers" all of the time. Especially in those areas of the country where water is scarce. When I hear of people taking 5, 10, 15 minute and longer showers, I can't imagine what they're doing under the water all that time. In our house, if I hear the shower water running longer than 5 minutes I go downstairs and shut off the hot water. They learn real quick to keep things moving. :) Rant off.
