We have been in a campground on shore power. Hot water using electric water heater on shore power was medium hot (not really hot enough to take a shower or properly wash dishes, but more than just warm). Hadn't had a chance to figure out the problem, when it turned very cold here (Las Vegas) and to deal with at or near freezing temps, we filled our fresh water tank and are running off the water pump. Without changing anything else, water is piping hot. Any ideas as to why that could be? Propane water heater is still off. In the past, to get the water to the proper temperature I have used both propane and electric, which works good. Been using the shower at the campground in the meantime, so it wasn't urgent. I was thinking that the electric element - or whatever its called - might be going out, but it heating very hot under the water pump seems to nix that theory.
