Anode Rod for Atwood
I've got a new Atwood 10 gallon water heater in my rig. Someone suggested to me that I add an anode to this tank. I'm looking for opinions on whether this is a good idea. Thanks. jor

Suburban water heaters require an anode rod due to their construction (steel tank). Atwood water heaters are aluminum and do not require an anode rod. They typically have a plastic drain plug that can break when the plastic gets old and brittle. I'd suggest you pick up a spare drain plug the next time you're in an RV parts store and carry it as a spare.
What TJ said. That's all you need.
