Just came back from an RV maintenance seminar put on by a very knowledgable RV dealer and his tech helper. Both claim that the aluminum Atwood water heaters do in fact corrode, and both thought the magnesium 4.5 inch anode rode made for Atwoods would help with that issue.
Then I hear folks on this forum that have had seizing problems putting anodes in Atwoods. Were those anodes magnesium, or is it the steel threads that cause the problem?? I do see the Camco package recomends inspecting the anode rod monthly, which I wouldn't do (I drain the water tank after camping trips, which for us can be months down the road).
Appreciate all thoughts on this issue. thanks.
