Has anyone had a bad smell coming from their hot water tank after the water has been in the tank for six weeks or so? I drain all our tanks when we get home after a trip but never have drained the hot...

Thanks to all of you for the replies I will replace anode rod when we get home, { which I haven't done in several years just cleaned it and reinserted it trying to be a cheap skate} Also I will drain the tank again and do the bleach thing.
Sitting in a RV park now with outside temps at 105* here in Oregon, go figure! The parks circuit breakers keep flipping off so I have to get up off my dead -ss and go reset it lol!!
Thanks again!!!
Minimize your electric load and pedestal breaker should stop tripping.
IF anode rod is magnesium it could be reacting with micros in the water source.
Otherwise.......no need to change until anode rod is 75% gone.
Cleaning them off and reusing is OK
A good drain/flush of WH tank should clean it up
