I am having a problem with my hot water freezing up in temperatures below 30 degrees. I'm kind of stumped on this one so hoping someone can help. I live full time in my new to me 2018 Reflection 297RSTS. I am connected to city water, my hoses are wrapped and have heat tape. I have cold water out of every faucet but no hot water. I can turn on hot on all faucets and I get nothing, turn on hot and cold on any one faucet and it back flows cold water through the system and I get cold water out of any faucet that has hot only turned on. That tells me that the hot water lines between faucets isn't frozen. I can open the pressure relief valve on the tank and I get a steady flow of water. Shut off the supply and water stops from the pressure relief. This tells me that I have a good supply to the water heater and that isn't frozen. It seems that the problem may be beneath the floor where the hot water is dispersed to all of the fixtures. I have ran my heater duct to the opening in the floor where the plumbing penetrates and let it run for about 2 hours, enough for the inside of the camper to reach 80 degrees and still have no hot water. I have reached my hand through the Coroplast under the camper and I feel the heat from the heater. I hope I am describing this well enough. I am out of ideas of what the problem could be. Any ideas?
