Last fall my camping buddy had a blowout in his Sundance 3400QB that required the furnace and water heater be replaced. He said now it seems the water does not get as hot as before.
On a residential water heater I'm use to just turning up the dial to raise the temperature. On an Atwood RV water heater I'm not sure if you can adjust / replace the thermostat to a higher temperature?
I found several replacement thermostats on eBay, some marked 120 degrees and others 140 degrees, however, I watched a You Tube how-to video on RV thermostat replacement and it seemed from the narrators comments you should only replace with the same degree thermostat. Couldn't find a specific answer in the Water Heater Troubleshooting Guide on the forum.
Can you adjust or change out the thermostat on an Atwood RV water heater to a higher temperature setting?
