Lance Shower Faucet Hot Water Problem

I have a 2016 Lance 825 with the single shower faucet and it worked fine up until my last trip. The hot water heater is fine and I get hot water at the kitchen sink but I am not getting much, if any hot water when I turn on the shower, even all the way to hot. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what was the fix? Nearest Lance dealer is 2 hours away so I am trying too avoid loading the truck up for this and Lance service still has not returned my call. Thanks in advance!
  • Maybe the bypass valve got turned? My truck camper has three valves relating to the hot water heater. One stops water going to the hot water heater. One stops water coming from the hot water heater. The third one allow the water to "bypass" the hot water heater. They do this so that you can winterize the camper without rv antifreeze getting in the hot water tank.
  • Follow the water line,you could have a kink in the line it goes under the sink, then it has a T which goes to the outside shower, then it goes to the outside storage compartment. Then down under the back of the camper to the shower. Maybe something in the two storage compartments is kinking the line?
  • I'm reading his problem as the hot water he's getting is not hot enough, not that the volume is insufficient? Maybe some clarification by the OP?

  • Perhaps the diverter is clogged?
    Or, it needs to be adjusted for more output at the shower, and less at the sink.
  • Remove the shower head and clean it out. Most likely something is clogging the shower head, calcium build up or some dirt.

    Remove the shower head and turn on the faucet. If the stream of water is strong, you know it's the shower head. Either clean it or get a new one then.
