    Solved - thru this forum. Amazing tool

    So, this morning my shower was less than hot. Just barely above luke warm. And the day before, the water would scald you if you didn't mix with cold. I knew I had to fix this before DW got in for her shower.
    I double checked the switch on the control panel and confirmed that only the electrical was turned on. I flipped on the gas switch, waited to hear it ignite and flame on, and then went to work. About an hour later she called to let me know that her shower was COLD! Rats!!
    I searched the forum for water heater temperature issues and found this thread.

    When I went home for lunch, I checked the outside shower valve and lo and behold, it was "on". I turned it off, and went in to test the hot water and it just about burnt my hand. Problem solved. I don't pretend to understand just how the open outside shower valve mixes the hot and cold, but appearantly it does. And how did Rob know that?? Amazing. Thanks to Rob and this forum.
    Oh yes, on the previous day we had set and used the outside shower to bathe the dog. So that's how the valve got turned on and left that way.

    Thanks for the kind words . . .
    This forum is indeed an amazing place. I learn more than I help with.

    My working career was 32 years as a mechanical engineer in chassis and powertrain product engineering for an automotive manufacturer.
    My "hobbies" for my whole life have been messing about with old boats and renovating houses.
    Although I am new to RVs, I find that I have often experienced "something similar" in either my career or my hobbies.

    The mixing water "learning" comes from many years ago, leaving a hose attached to the laundry tub faucet with both taps open (at the house) . . . . and wondering what happened to the hot water in the kitchen . Same problem . . . different place.
