Brown water indicates rust, and that means a rusty tank. And usually because the anode rod wasn't doing it job of protecting the tank. How old is this water heater?
Don't understand the "hateful Suburban" bit. I have a Suburban in our 2007 5er and never any brown water. I have often left water in it between trips, sometimes as long as a couple months. But I do monitor the anode rod and change it yearly. Full timers keep water in them year round.
