For another non RV project I reduced my wet/dry hose size using clamps and vinyl tubes to get out water out of a real small place.
When changing my anode I thought about sucking out the water out of the bottom of hot water tank and then letting it dry out, then put anode back in. My thinking was no water, no rust. Then I think about a hollow steel container would just slow down the process and not be worth the hassle.
Wonder why you can get propane tanks made of fiberglass and not hot water heaters?
You can get 'hot water heaters' in fiberglass...they are called containers
But in order to heat water to make it hot....fiberglass just wouldn't take the heat of propane flame.
Course you could submerge a electric heating coil in a fiberglass container and heat water........hummmmmmmmmmmm
