No Hot Water

We have not had any hot water for the last few days.  Every faucet had cold water, but when you tried to get hot water, there was no flow at all.  Our previous camper had the same issue, so I knew that it was a bad check valve on the back of the hot water tank.  It should be an easy fix if I could get the part.  As I looked at the issue closer, the hot water tank was located in an area in a storage compartment under the bedroom and behind some panels.  I took off the panels and soon realized that I wasn't going to be able to fix the problem.  I called a mobile RV repairman.  He was able to reach the bad component, but could not find a replacement part.  After some discussion, we decided that the check valve wasn't all that important, so we just eliminated the valve.  Now we have hot water.  Not knowing if we were going to get the camper fixed today, we decided to go ahead and stay at our current campground till Thursday morning.  We have a really nice site and during the week the campground is almost empty.  We went swimming this afternoon and we were the only ones in the pool.

How can I ever get to the hot water tank?  I know, call a mobile RV technician 😀

The bad check valve was basically a plunger with a spring inside this black plastic fitting.  We never did find the spring.  It is probably still in the hot water tank.

We did do laundry today.  They had a nice big laundry room.

The campground has two pools and a hot tub. Nobody is swimming.

We can't have an empty pool.  RoxAnne enjoying this heated pool.  The outside temp was in the high 80's.
