Hot water in bathroom

I have a 2018 Thor hurricane 29m I have hot water in the kitchen and on the outside kitchen but barely have any water coming out from the hot water faucet in the bathroom for the shower or the sink. Any suggestions?

Barely any water at all? Or water flows fine, just does not get hot?

First, the easy......

Take the screen / water restrictor for the faucet and shower head. Often there is a buildup of construction debris or other particles that can significantly restrict water flow. Turn the water on without the screens to check the flow.

Next, the harder....

Since both bathroom hot water outlets are an issue, you will want to check the hot water plumbing going to the bathroom for a possible kink or bend that may be restricting the water flow.

It barely comes out and it's not hot.

Do you have a hot water tank or a tankless water heater?

Is there a hot water pump? We have the regular water pump but is there one specifically for the hot water?

Should be a single pump for both.

It sounds like there's a restriction in the water lines.

Do you have a slide that might be pinching a line?

Could also be debris in a fitting, that seems a bit less likely if your pump screen is doing it's job.

So for all to be clear. You have two Problems (symptoms)

1. Low water pressure on hot or cold water going to bathroom area (Shower / Sink)
2. When hot water is on shower or bath sink, it is NOT hot but barely warm.

If true, you may have a double kink. Following plumbing diagram for Hot & Cold water. You will likely find the kinks in front of the 1st device that use the water (i.e. shower) My guess is the red (hot water line) is likely more kinked than the blue (cold water).

Our slide is on the opposite side. We have been trying to check the lines. Can't find anything yet but still looking. Thank you so much for the suggestions. We just traded for tons one 2 weeks ago so still learning the roots on it.

NO! You do not have a seperate "hot water" pump.
The onboard pump pumps water into the water heater while also providing the pressure on both & hot/cold lines.
Id suspect you either have aerators full of debris or kinked lines or both. Or the bypass valve may be partially open/closed.
Check your outdoor shower, if the valves are open with the shower head off the hot/cold will mix causing luke warm water.

You need to register on the Owners Website so you can download the specific documentation for your coach, including the schematics.
