    Isata 5 No Hot Water to Shower?

    I'm not getting hot water to my shower in the I5. I get hot water to both sinks but not the shower. The shower gets a little 'warm' but not hot. I use 'warm' generously in that it is not cold like the cold faucet. Any thoughts as to what to check?

    We bought a 2021 Forest River Wildwood 32Ret about a month ago and have no hot water coming out of the hot water tank. The tank heats up but I think the valves were out on wrong.
