Not to steal the thread but I used Teflon tape on mine. Is that okay. Threads seem to be corroded and I am afraid that it will be hard to remove. 2014 model so not too old.
I've never used Teflon tape on my anode rod. But, I also drain my tank after every trip, so the rod is constantly being pulled. The threads may be rusted up a bit, but they are not rusted solid.
Yes, it drips, just slightly, but I also don't like to risk over tightening either.
I guess it's just me, but when I see the metal rod in the middle, I replace it. FYI, I've had my current camper for 3 years now, and still on the original rod. It still looks good. Previous camper 8 years and think I changed it only once then too.
