2009 Bighorn 3055RL, - Surburban (SW12DE) water heater - I am only getting warm water at each of my faucets (80 degrees). The water at the bypass valve on the water heater is 120 degrees. What might be the problem? How do I correct the problem?

You might take a look at your shower and outside shower faucets. Be sure they are turned off.
If, for example, Your outside shower faucets are turned on, that will allow cold water to feed back into the hot water side.
You may also have a bad check valve on the water heater.

Make sure the bypass valve is set so water is not passing between the inputs and outputs of the water heater.
