Water Heater

Maiden voyage in our 2015 Voltage V3305. My question is about the water heater. Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the temp when it's running on electric? If I use propane to run it, it is nice and hot. With electric, it gets Luke warm.

Thanks in advance,

Sean

Are the outside shower valves on? I would think if this was the problem it would be Luke warm for both gas/electric, but i guess it was worth a try.

They were, makes no sense to me. But now that they are closed, hot water everywhere. Thank you!

I made the same mistake not two weeks ago and had no idea why. Love the forums!! Apparently with both cold and hot water valves open on one fixture it allows the hot and cold water to mix throughout the system leaving you with Luke warm water.

Acts as a mixing valve, been going on ever since outdoor showers were invented. I had the same problem on my 2000 Coleman popup, finally figured out that was what the problem was.
