Default Hot water pressure low

1998 Hi-Lo 21 footer.

How water just a trickle - hot, normal flow for about 10 seconds, then goes to a trickle.

Cold water pressure fine.

You MAY have the winterization valves, or one of them, in the bypass position. You can check your owner's manual for the correct orientation. Other than that, I can't think of any reason for good water pressure on one side and not the other.

Just a guess. Take the aerator off the kitchen...bathroom faucet and rinse out. Could be clogged up. Also check your shower head. I bet Jack's advice works for you.

Howdy,

A little more info, please. Is it happening from all faucets or just one? Are you using the 12V pump or city water?

There could be a check valve in the outlet fitting on the WH that can clog with deposits from the water. A good flush of the tank could help.
