Hot water pressure

So I am connected to city water in my 2001 big sky Montana. My hot water pressure is not as good as my cold water pressure. It’s not horrible but it’s definitely not near as good as my cold water pressure . I’ve had another fifth wheel before that was older and both hot water and cold water pressure were the same so I haven’t run into this problem before. I was reading it could be something called a mixer valve on the hot water tank that gets corroded. Any ideas?

Two things to look at assuming the hot water pressure is low at all faucets. Make sure the by pass valves are in the correct wide open position. Next the check valve on the output side of the water heater can catch a lot of junk causing a restriction. Remove it and check. Just a heads up, it can be a bear to get out so have a cheater bar at the ready.
