Just posted in another forum, that might help with the bypass valves. Here is a link:

We had the same issue, I had opened the valves into the heater and it was was working, but warm was all we got and that was sparatic at best. Finally realized that in my haste, I failed to close the bypass valve when I opened the water heater valves. once that was shut had all the hot water I could use, and damn it was HOT!

Also make sure your outside shower "if equipped" isn't turned on allowing water to mix.

HOLY COW, i just took my new camper out this weekend and had the same issue. I was worried the water heater was bad. I'll have to make sure i check the valves.

If one of the valves is wrong position or partially turned it will cause
problems.
My water heater only has 2 valves! The are like the middle and bottom
valves in the photo in post 3 below.
They do this by using check valves in place of the 3rd hand valve....
I had a trailer some years ago that only had 1 winterization valve but it
worked!
BTW- I have copied wmtire's post with the valves diagram to our
FAQ- water heater area for future reference.
This topic comes up often!
Happy Camping!
