Check the bypass (winterizing) valve at the water heater. If it's leaking by you may get a burst of hot water followed by the cold water that's bypassing the heater.

Not sure where you're from, but if you're anywhere near Shipshewana, IN (close to Elkhart), I highly recommend National RV Refrigeration. Excellent work at a ridiculously low price.
