Back in September we traded our caravan in for an Elddis Impressa 175 motorhome. Right from the start we have had problems with the hot water in the shower. My routine for a shower is to wet my hair, turn off tap, soap hair, turn tap back on and rinse hair, turn off tap, apply conditioner and then soap body whilst tap is off. Then finally turn tap back on and rinse hair and body. This is the way we showered in our caravan and we managed to get two showers and some washing up done with one tank of hot water.
Sadly in the motorhome, by the time I turn the tap on to rinse my hair after shampooing, the water is already getting cooler. I am normally only a quarter of the way through rinsing my body before the water is absolutely freezing. I estimate this to be between two and three minutes of warm water if that.
We took the motorhome back to the dealer and they told us it was because it had a smaller tank than the caravan (8 litres rather than 10 litres). Surely it shouldn’t make this much difference?
We are planning to go touring for a year in our motorhome in the future but how can we do this if we cannot have a semi decent shower especially in the winter. We are beginning to wish we’d kept the caravan!
Has anyone else had this problem with their hot water?
