Voltage 3305 NO Hot water at kitchen faucet

This morning I discovered that I have no Hot Water but I do have
cold water at the kitchen sink. I have hot and cold ok in the bathroom. It's cold here and I have a heated fresh water hose
and since I have cold water everywhere and hot water everywhere
Except the kitchen. The faucet is a swivel type with a head that pulls
out for spraying. The on/off Hot/cold is a lever that does it all.
This lever goes up/down for on/off functions and side to side for
cold or hot water. When the lever is on and all the way to the
left for hot water. Nothing. No water at all. If you start moving the
lever to the right cold water comes out normally.
It was working fine last night then this morning it's not.
It's puzzling because if it froze during the night, why do I have
cold water. If it's broke what happened between last night and
this morning to cause the faucet to fail?
I guess I'll buy a new faucet and see if that cures it??
Anybody else experience this?
I have a Voltage 3305 2015 toyhauler

I'd be cracking supply lines fittings under the sink before I replace the faucet to determine if the issue is further upstream.

First time we used our 3305 the same problem. I had to clean sawdust out of both valves and strainer in the faucet. There was a lot of sawdust, no flow. I have no idea how the clowns at Keystone got sawdust in the lines?

Thanks Don. I called Dutchman since I still have a warranty for one more
month. They told me to take it to a Dutchman dealer. I explained that I
am a full time RVer so couldn't I have a mobile repair tech come to me?
NO. The warranty agreement states you HAVE to take it to a dealer.
So since leaving it full of my stuff including firearms is not gonna work
for me I then removed the panel that is the back wall of my large
storage compartment. I found 2 kinked hoses which I will fix later
since neither of them had anything to do with hot water. What
I didn't find is any kind of leaks or any kind of help from Dutchman.
The space where all the hoses, ducts, etc is small and too crowded
to get up into, at least for me anyway. I wish I had a diagram
showing how the water lines were routed? But I don't.
Cant see any leaks and although it was very cold last night I
cant figure how a "Hot" line could freeze and plug up and
yet all the cold lines are good and the other hot lines as well?
This is my first RV and I'm learning. One thing I've learned is
Dutchman customer service sucks.

Yeah, for what I paid for this RV I really didn't expect to
have the issues I've had in only 11 months. It's a 2015
and I live in it and the hot water worked fine last night
when I went to bed. I know, it sounds like it froze but
I haven't seen any leaks or floods etc. and just that one
hot line is not working? Man, I don't want to pay a
guy $100 bucks an hour to come out here. SNAFU

NO Hot Water update:
It's 2:18pm here and suddenly
my hot water is back. So it must have
been and ice clog?? Why just that line??
How to prevent it from happening again?
It's working but leaves me with a lot
of questions?

My guess is that line would be laying down on the black belly material and got colder than the others. Only way to confirm is...yeah...you guessed it

That makes sense. I thought there was a heat vent to
keep the under belly warm enough??
Maybe if I skirt it that would keep enough cold out
but that's another hassle when I hit the road.
Thanks ya'll for the replies
Mike

If you go in there, might be worth wrapping in black foam water pipe insulation?

You could move a little south to some warmer part of Nevada. That should help out the freezing water line problem. That's what SnowBirds do at this time of year. .

They don't exist for Dutchmen products, nor do wiring diagrams. Best bet is to draw your own. I have talked to many a repair tech and this is one of their major beefs with several of the larger RV manufacturers. Lack of any sort of documentation.
