I'd look for a mixing valve at the hot outlet. If present they are known for failing due to scaling. Many remove it and manually regulate the discharge temp with the bypass valve. One last thing to check is the outside shower. If both valves are open with the shower head valve closed hot & cold will mix.

Water heaters with mixing valves maintain higher tank temperatures. This coupled wi , Dannyth mixing in cold creates an apparent larger capacity tank.

There is a scalding risk if the mixing valve is eliminated and no cold water is mixed via the bypass.

I have the same problem with mine  , 2000 Wilderness with Atwood GC6aa . Where is the bypass valve so I can eliminate it ? Thanks , Danny
