Could be several things, including a bad element or thermostat, but I think you may have a broken dip tube. The dip tube carries the new cold water to the bottom of the tank, if it breaks off the new water enters at the top where the hot water is exiting. It quickly mixes and will lower the temp of exiting water considerably. The dip tube is located inside the cold water inlet of the water heater.

You should be able to smell the chlorine. Make sure you are using the water pump and not an external water supply. Top off the RV fresh water tank and let stand for at least three hours over night is better. Drain the system completely by flushing the faucets for several minutes each. Open the fresh water tank drain valve to speed up emptying the tank. Open the hot water tank drain plug and drain until it is empty. Close all valves and faucets and drain plugs.
