Hot water not flowing through any faucets

Motorhome faucets throughout discharge good cold water. Trouble I'm trying to resolve is hotwater will not flow through faucets. I have an Atwood water heater that is just 2 yrs old. W/T is working perfectly. Just cannot get hotwater to flow continually throughout the home. There seems to be a restriction. I have flushed the W/H. Pressure relief valve seems to be working fine. Any advise or help? I'm stuck in the "DUHHH" stage! Thanks. Joe D.

Second on the outlet check vlave,

If you have a single valve bypass system it is 100% you have such a valve
If you have a multi-valve.. You may still

Seen it before.. The RVer in that case was unable to get the valve off the heater so she (YES SHE!!) reached in with a pair of needle nose pliers and pulled everythign inside the valve out, Gutted it and turned into a pipe.

And she was Back in hot water again.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Some water heaters will have THREE knobbies - no check valve.

IF you have a water heater bypass (kit) for winterization...is that valve open?

Just my 2 cents.........

as Old Biscuit said.
The replacement check valve is probably less than $10.
