I just used my RV for 4 months, and then last week I was not getting water from my hot water side of my faucets. Has this happened to anyone else. I have hot water, just no pressure.

I had the same ting happen to me a month ago. It was the Hotwater heater check valve. It allows cold water into the hot water heater to force hot water out this prevents hot water backing up into the cold water pipes. On my 03 Adventurer it's on the rear lower right side of the HW heater. You can get it through the water pump compartment.

I think there are two check valves and when I had this problem and replaced the lower check valve it didn't solve the problem. I believe the valve at the outlet is at the top of the tank and this is probably the one that has failed. Cost of the valve is around $10. but a pain to change because of tight quarters.

Same problem, it is the back flow preventer valve (check valve) on the hot water side. You will need a 1" socket to get it out . It costs about $10 for the valve

How do you get to the check valve? Do you have to remove the dog house?
