On our Coachmen Freelander, our water heater comes on for 8 minutes and then shuts off. We get approximately 2 cups of warm water. We tried turning on the water heater a couple times with the same results. Does anyone out there have suggestions for us to try?

I'm at the campground next to francine_gary. In talking to him, the suggestion to check the bypass valve solved the problem.
