A possibility:
Some MH's have a check valve prior to the water heater. This check
valve prevents heat transfer from the water heater back to the cold
water source, i.e., the fresh water tank. Internally is a small
plastic part that deteriorates or gets misaligned thus preventing
water flow. This valve will be located imediately prior to the tank on
the cold water line feeding the heater.

About 7 bucks for the valve. I got mine from bird but it seems to be a
common part available at any plumbing supply.

Actually one can just take the valve out, pull out the plastic check
valve portion and put the who;e assembly back in--left mine for about
six months before i went back in to do it right.

This fixed my 86 PT that had some of the symtoms you describe. it is
an easy fix.
