Water heater is heating water, but none flows through the faucet. Have checked all valves and everything looks okay. Please help.

All taps, or just one location not hot?
It's possible that your system is working correctly but one quite unknown thing can cause the water to be only lukewarm. If you have an outside shower or outside faucet by the dump tank panel check to make sure that the water knobs are turned off there. Sometimes someone will turn both hot and cold water on at the outside shower controls and turn off the flow using the shower head shutoff instead of the knobs. This allows the cold and hot water to mix and make the flow inside the RV to be only slightly warm.
At the back of the water heater there will be a series of valves. One on the bottom, sometimes one on the top and then one in a line that connects the top to the bottom lines. Make sure the middle valve is closed and the top and bottom valves are open. If there is not a valve on the top that can be manually opened and closed then there is a check valve installed. This check valve will allow the hot water out of the tank but will prevent the back flow of cold water during the winterization bypass. If the valve on top is closed it will not allow hot water out. If the middle valve is opened it will allow the cold water to mix with hot water and defeat the purpose having a water heater. Close the middle open the top and bottom. If there is not one on top then the check valve is probably clogged or has failed and need to be cleaned or replaced.
