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

Guess I should have read the manual! I'll forgo the anode. Thanks to all.

Might want to tell 'someone' that they aren't needed.....pass the info forward cause 'someone' is mistaken.
Course I'm not surprised.....
Goggle 'Atwood Anode Rod Replacement' and thousands of hits with hundreds of vendors from E-Bay, Amazon, CW etc. hocking anode rods for Atwood Water Heaters.......not to be confused with Suburbans which do use anode rods. The aftermarket (aftermarket only) Atwood rods are 1/2" diameter to fit in Atwood drain holes (Suburban are 3/4"...for a reason)
Just because an item/product is available in the aftermarket doesn't mean it is better, needed or necessary. Always check MFG. before wasting your RV Monies.
