No hot water out of our new BC 16x shower

My first post, so be gentle! We took our brand new 2021 BC to a local campground for a break in last night. Full hookup. Everything worked as expected until shower time. The Truma water temp icon no longer was flashing so we assumed all was good. There was continuous hot water in the kitchen sink. However, the hot water in the shower lasted about 10 seconds and then returned to tepid/cold and stayed there. Needless to say, last night showers were very quick! We tested again this morning with the same results. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Congrats!

Congrats on your new BC. It is everything you need and nothing that you don’t.
I would start by making sure the hot and cold water mixing valve is closed. I would check out YouTube for a video on how to winterize the 2018 Basecamp for further details.
Our experience is that showering in or outside the basecamp has a steep learning curve, but can be mastered with practice. Use your full hookup sites to figure out how to get your correct temp quickly so that you won’t “burn up” your fresh water capacity while boondocking.
