Pete,
Cinnabar - http://www.thegmcmotorhomepeople.com Offers a complete kit that includes a 12 VDC solenoid, temperature sensor, wiring and a switch. The kit allows the temp switch to shut off the the flow of coolant to the hot water tank and prevent the tank water from getting too hot. I think that Rob has a picture of the unit from the Cinnabar newsletter. I have the kit in my shop and will be installing it this spring. Kit runs a little over $60 and considerable cheaper than the industrial style temp controls, which I have specified and bought as my previous life as an instrument engineer. Good find, but not a good application for the cost.
