Hot water is intermittent

My triton camp chef 5L water heater seems to be working intermittently - water gets hot but turns cold again within a minute. Turning off the water @ the shower head itself & then turning it back on resolves the issue but this is a pain in the neck! Is this normal for this unit? Thank you for your help.

This model only produces up to 1 1/2 gallons per minute. That is not a lot of hot water, if you're using it for a shower. Get wet, shut it off, soap up, turn it back on and rinse.

    That's plenty of water. My wife & I have been using it as our daily shower (outdoors) for 4 years.

Camp Chef HWD5 Triton Water Heater, water suddenly started praying out of the bottom of the heater. Temperatures are not freezing. Manual has no info on this problem.

Is the water coming out of the blowoff tube? Or just out of the bottom of the water heater? If it is an older water heater could be rusted out, Hard to say without a little more information

Shuts down and needs to be restarted

Have you tried new batteries? Mine lighted fine but would then go out. The batteries provide the spark but they also keep the gas valve open.
