hot water

[CyRE]

If it is like mine, which never seemed to work, there may be plastic debris in the line running from the water tank to the water pump. They drill holes in the tank when the put in the fittings, but my RV repair guy says they NEVER clean out the debris. Unscrew the fitting from the tank to the in-line water filter. The plastic may be densely packed in the line. I had to use a drill bit by hand to ream it out. There is a clear plastic cap on the in-line water filter. Remove it and clean the filter screen. Then reassemble and give it a try. Once I fixed this it works great.

Agree use only hot water. Set the temp on the thermostat to what is comfortable for you. It takes a bit to come up to temp. When we dry camp we keep a pail in the shower and collect the cold water from the shower head to rinse dishes, rather than watch it go down the drain.

Bet that's the problem!

Believe me we have considered doing just that and probably will before too long

The trick is the temperature setting. I have a thor vegas 2018 and had the same problem till a service tech told me to set the temp at 110. Now i get constant warm/hot water for showers dishes etc. The problem is the propane burner for the heater cannot provide constant temps above 110. 10 is still an adequate temp for personal use.

I've watched the temperature levels, and just about everyone settles into the "105 to 110" range.

Same problem with Pinnacle...I install a 65 psi booster pump at city water hookup if campground pressure is less than 50 psi....works great...

I agree, temperature is the key. I set mine at 110 and it seems to work fine (also in florida), but 105 would be even better.

I'm installing the shower miser now.

The Judge is 100% correct!! I was just at the Thor repair center and that is exactly what they told me. Thanks Judge for the great advice!

[DWS50]

Just set it like the Judge said. Thor told me the same thing

Finished the shower miser install took about 5hrs. 30ft of pex pipe 2- 90deg Shark Bite push fittings. Works great when dry camping limits on showers quadruple the number of showers, now camper showers are simple and comfortable.

Yes, we had similar problem and finally flushed the lines and we have hot water from any sink, etc.
