Hot water
I have a 2016 Thor Ace 29.3 and I have no hot water. I haven’t tried it since last year and after it was winterized. Any ideas on why I can’t get any hot water? Nothing on electric or LP gas

You should have found three valves.
Cold in, parallel to pipe.
Hot out, parallel to pipe.
And bypass, across the pipe.

What valve? There can be up to 3 valves just for the water heater for winterization and many other valves for draining and isolation and anti-freeze installation as well. Was the coach ever fully "de-winterized"?
Does the water heater burner ignite?
Did hot and cold sourced water flow before but it wasn't hot?
Does hot and cold sourced water flow in other places now except the bathroom sink after finding "the valve"?
Did you turn "the valve"?
So many unknowns.

I don’t believe it was fully de-winterized
I have hot water in the kitchen sink which is above hot water heater. I have cold water pressure in the bathroom. But no hot water in the shower or the bathroom sink

OK, it can be confusing, but is there any water coming out of the hot water taps or are you just getting cold water out of the hot water taps?

So this would mean, no water at all. So is the bathroom on a slide? If so, look for a kinked HW line.

So there is very little hot water coming out of the bathroom sink. Is there another valve I’m missing that me not be fully open?

You could have debris in a valve or a valve partially open as well
Start at the water heater and work forward
Or call an RV tech to do it for you

This is how my valves currently are. I’m back home now and connected to water here.
Is this the correct settings?

From what I see, NO, I made a mistake I shouldn't look at a small phone when I have a big computer screen That bottom blue line stay's closed unless it's in bypass

I thought you said you had hot water and pressure at other faucets so your valves are right and the problem is the shower area or going to it. Try taking off the shower head and turn on the water, see if there is pressure on hot and cold separately

Well the water pressure is now good everywhere so I’m thinking maybe when the slide was brought back in, it unkinked a hose
But now there’s no hot water!

Are you mixing hot and cold water? In the center, where the blue and red lines meet, this valve needs to be closed.
