:confused: I have a 1992 Fleetwood Jamboree Searcher and need help in finding out how to adjust the water temperature. The hot water is extremely hot almost to a dangerous degree. The shower seems to not ever get at a comfortable temperature. I have replaced the shower head already thinking it might be bad. Please help!

This question may have been better for the "Maintenance / Repair section of this site. I'm wondering if you have the old style of water heater or is it a remote start type with a electronic circuit board?

I am pretty sure it is a remote start type with a electronic circuit board.

What brand water heater? Suburban? Attwood? etc. What Model?

The more information that is given about a given problem item, the easier and more accurate the advice offered will be.

does it do this on both electric and gas? if so it may not be the water heater. could be the valve at the faucet. i would find it highly unlikely that both gas and eletric thermostats, eco's would all fail...then there is the popoff valve outside if it were getting that hot.

mine has no adjustment other than adding more cold water to the hot water
for the desired temp.
