Today I finished up my electric upgrade for my water heater. The element is small and replaces the drain valve. It's only a 425 Watt element but it gets the water hot enough. When I was putting it all together, I saw that the tank has two large bosses for anode rods. Looks like I could replace one of the anodes with a thread in element and upgrade to 1500 Watts for $20. Either way, adding on the electric to your propane only heater is a good way to save gas and take advantage of the shore power at a camp site.
