Hot Water Issues
We noticed it took forever for hot water to reach the kitchen sink on our 2014 Voltage 3200 even though the water heater is right next to it. I took off the grill under the fridge where the water heater is located. I traced the hot water line and noted that it exits the water heater, the line goes all the way to the cargo hold where the water pump is located. There it bifurcates off to the bathroom, outside shower, and back to the kitchen and laundry area. Round trip, that is about 25 feet before hot water makes it to the kitchen sink from a water heater that is 6 feet away.
My solution was to buy some pex hose and connectors and jump(6 inch piece) the hot water line coming out of the heater across to the hot water line coming back from the pump to the kitchen sink. The result is now hot water reaches the kitchen in about 10 seconds. Very nice. Please note that the crimper for pex copper connectors is a bit pricey ($59 at Home Depot), so if that is too much, you can use hose clamps that tighten with a screwdriver. You will also need 2 pex tees to tap into the hot water lines.
