Why don't motor homes have controllable thermostat for hot water heater

[2StrokeDiesel]

Can someone explain why there is not a controllable thermostat on motor home water heaters? The water gets hotter than one needs and thus seems like a waste of energy. Hope you all have a great day!

Good question, and maybe some newer models do have them - I don't know - probably a cost thing. There is an adjustable therm. kit you can install yourself. if you want to link let me know and I will post it.

The Raritan marine water heater is adjustable just like electric water heaters for the home.

As Jack stated the Raritan marine water heater is adjustable:

In the case that your worried about wasting energy than you should install a thermostat which can be had for around $40.00.

And just where is this adjustment device hiding?
