No hot water in kitchen.

I have hot water in bathroom sink and shower/tub. But not the kitchen sink. Can't seem to locate the valve or i'm opening and closing the wrong combinations? Is there a valve somewhere that just controls the kitchen sink? Any ideas?

Under the kitchen sink there is the water pump/filter. There are two valves. The first valve out of the pump goes to a line that disappears into the floor and goes ? The second valve (on this same line) controls the opening and closing of the antifreeze line. There is another line that comes out from above to the pump but do not know where from.

In the front of the RV is the bathroom. Behind a cabinet door and beside the sink enclosure is the hot water tank. The pipe is routed in an "H" pattern. The line that comes out of the top of the tank goes right and there is a valve on that line. The line then travels downward and it has a valve in the center. The line then goes left and travels into the bottom of the tank. This too has a valve. I assume that the top and bottom lines that come out of the tank are hot and cold water lines. There is another line that I cannot see where it is hooked up to. It contains what looks like another filter?? That line goes down into the floor thru the hole where a black pipe goes.

From the access door outside and below the hot water tank are two lines that come out together each containing a valve. The sticker outside says these are low point drain lines. In this same access are two lines that travel along the top. I assume one of these is coming from the pump since these vibrate when pump is turned on. There is also a line that goes beside a black pipe and into the floor along with a larger black pipe.

Anyone know how many valves I should have? (not counting low point drain valves).

Do you have no flow with the kitchen faucet in the hot position or is there cold water from both the hot and cold side of the faucet?

Our kitchen is the furthest from the the water heater so it takes a while for the water to get hot at the kitchen faucet.

If you have hot water at other locations, the valves at the water heater are not the problem.

Problem solved.... DUH. When I tested the hot water I assumed (yes, i'm the ass) that once I had hot water in the bath and outside shower I should have it also in the kitchen. What I didn't take into count was the water in the bath and outside shower are closer and therefore did not have to be heated as long to test hot. The kitchen however is farther away and because I tested the closest faucets first I probably used what hot water there was and when I ran the kitchen hot water there just wasn't any left and it tested cold. Anyway, this time I let the water heat for 30 min. and all faucets checked hot. I want to thank oldmanAZ and apologize if I wasted his time in answering my question..... DUH

Just note that the valve in the "H" is used for winterizing and prevents antifreeze from entering the tank. Just remember to close it come spring time or you will only ever get warm water
