Suburban Water heater
Hello, I how do I drain the water out of the water heater without the Anode rod shooting 10 feet across the driveway and water gushing out 100 mph ? I drained it twice, and both times the anode...

In my humble opinion, the best way to remove the sediment (from the sacrificial anode rod) in a Suburban HWH is through the anode rod port with a jet stream of water from a garden hose stream concentrator (or your pressure washer) stuck in the anode rod port.
Better yet, get an Atwood HWH with no anode rod.
Best way to flush out any water heater tank, Suburban or Atwood, is to use an RV water heater tank rinser like this.
To the OP - use that water pressure relief valve and chances are pretty good you'll never get it to properly reseal without leaking. :M Leave it alone, relive pressure in the system by simply opening a couple of faucets. That said, why remove the anode rod so often anyway? - just leave it as is for the season, then drain & flush the tank when you're winterizing the rest of the trailer.
