It took me a while to accurately diagnose this, but the water coming out of my hot water heater smells strongly of sulphur. I have no idea exactly when this started; the rig was stored for more than ...
I too had the sulfur smell and took out the anode rod and installed a ball type drain valve in it's place. That was in 2007. I haven't had the tank self destruct nor leak and I can VERY easily drain or blow off sediment. I figure this, you have an anode in your home water heater and it will never be changed, so why the RV one? Never had stinky water since I removed the rod.
