  1. Bill C's post in Fresh Water Tank filling by itself was marked as the answer   
    Same thing happened to me. After replacing  several things, it turned out to be the water pump was letting water flow backwards in to the fresh water tank.
    Replaced the water pump,. problem solved.

    Wow, that's a lot of good information. 😉
    Thanks Daniel and Tom!
  3. Bill C's post in Aqua Hot water temp low was marked as the answer   
    Good Day All,  Here is an updated to my shortage of Hot Water in my Monaco Dynasty Shower.
    The good news is: Problem Solved! 
    Here is a summary of what I tried during my troubleshooting:
    1. I looked for, and planned to remove, any calcium in the shower system, but there was none.
    2. I replaced the Moen Cartridge in the shower, and found that it was a  Moen 1225, some thought it was a 1222. This did not resolve my issue.
    3. I tried rotating the tempering valve to increase the hot water but it did not help. I later found that my tempering valve was broken, making it impossible to adjust the water temp either way.
    4. I bought a rebuild kit from Home Depot for the Aqua Hot (AH) tempering valve, recommended to me by one of our members. It was not exactly like mine so I can't use it.
    5. Thanks to Gary, I was able to find a replacement tempering valve from Amazon. I used the guts from the tempering valve that I purchased from Amazon (the link is in my earlier thread).  While trying to rebuild the tempering valve I found that mine was broken inside (which is why turning the handle on the valve did nothing). Attached is a pic of my old tempering valve, showing the broken part. I've also included a comparison pic of my old tempering valve, along side of the replacement tempering valve. I was a little concerned when I saw that there was a little difference, but I later found that this was not a concern, as the replacement tempering valve works GREAT!
    Before I replaced my tempering valve the hot water temp inside the coach was about 96 degrees.
    After replacing the tempering valve, the hot water temp inside the coach was about 135 degrees. Of course I can lower the water temp somewhat using the adjustment on the tempering valve. But, for now, I'll take the 135 degree temp as it will be a nice change to get a hot shower. And, of course, we will be careful not to scald ourselves by properly adjusting the hot and cold water to a safe, but comfortable, water temp, resulting in a safe, comfortable shower.
    As a side note: at home, we have the water temp on our on demand hot water heater set to 140 degrees, so we are used to the higher hot water temps.
     
    I hope this helps other Aqua Hot users, and I appreciate everyone's inputs, and help, especially Gary...
    All the Best,
    Bill
