We just unwinterized the RV and cannot get hot water, we have a trauma acqua go. I flipped the switch on. I pulled out a drawer and turned on the valve for the water, but I am thinking there is another valve I need to turn for hot water, does anyone know? Any help would be appreciated as we are camping now. Thanks

Normally there are valves to bypass the water heater - cold in closed, hot out closed, and bypass open. This keeps the pink stuff for winterizing out of the water heater. Those need to be set for flow through the hot water system.

Looks like behind a drawer in the kitchen from what I found.

Awesome thank you!! It was a little bit hidden in there. So it is now turned on but water is not getting hot just lukewarm. Any other suggestions?? The pilot turns on and runs , just not hot. Thanks again for any help!!

May have to look at the trauma manual.

If I remember correctly one of those valves functions as a bypass too so a couple positions to let flow through.

We had a third valve on ours for the actual bypass.

Sounds like the flow may be partially bypassing if just like warm water coming out.

The switch on top of hot water tanks on? There is also a fuse nearby
