Water heater

So we fired up the electric on the hot water heater for the first time and shut off the propane switch. Check the water temp by hand for the hot after a while and my oh my was that super hot compared to using the propane. Is there a way on the older 2010 models to adjust the temp? Thanks

Yep, mixing it with cold water... Sorry, had to do that. Answer is no for propane or electric. John

Could be the thermostat for electric is going bad.

Gas and electric should both be 140 degrees.

Have never seen a rv water heater with that capability in a fifth wheel.

I don't have an answer but my water is way hotter on electric than propane too! I have a 2015. Then my husband showered and didn't shut the water off at the handles, just at the shower head. So, the electric wasn't as hot till I shut the water in the shower off at the handles. Feel like I am crazy???

Better too hot than too cold. Our 2015 water is hot!

You can buy different temp. thermostats. You need to pull yours and see what is printed on it then get one lower, if you think you need it.
