Be aware that the Suburban water heater uses an anode rod and that the conversion kit you saw at Camping World requires that you remove that anode and replace it with the heating element.
You can get those with a anode rod....course the rod is only about 4" long (at most) -------OEM is 9 1/2" long.
Not much protection ------2X need for replacement and the smaller rods are hard to find plus more expensive then OEM.
Course neither Atwood or Suburban recommend (actually discourage) use of the aftermarket heat elements.
