Hi everyone. Brand new 2023 23LDE owner here. On our first trip out, the on-demand hot water did not work as expected while hooked up to campground water with a 40-50 psi regulator and filter. The first day was absolutely fine and then the next couple of days were very strange. Sometimes the tap would get lukewarm in the kitchen but then hot in the bathroom, but cold in the shower. We tried all sorts of things including ensuring the flow knob was turned all the way up on the on-demand heater itself, turning down the max temperature at the control panel and also trying to increase the flow by introducing a little cold water while the hot water was running (understanding that there needs to be a minimum flow to get the hot water to heat properly). Nothing seemed to work. Water would be warm then cold and maybe warm again, no matter how long we let it run. **EDIT: It's also worth noting, I tried briefly without the pressure regulator and it was the same behavior.
Then, we added about 1/2 a tank to the fresh water and switched over from the park water to the onboard water pump, but it was the also the same behavior.
Finally to take a shower, we had to leave the bathroom sink running full blast, and only then would the shower get hot.
As we were packing up to leave, I tried one last time to see - and at that point, everything seemed to be working perfectly (?!). Very strange and maddening.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?
