Cracked Suburban water tank
OK, so I'm finally getting the trailer ready for the first trip of the year, flushed all the water lines, filled the water heater etc. No problem till I drained the water heater, when I went inside...

It's a 10 gallon tank, is there any reason I can't put in a 10 gallon Atwoond They don't have anodes, right? I like the idea of being able to put in a drain valve, removing the anode to drain the tank is a PITA.
Not sure why removing the anode rod is a PITA. I remove ours after each camping trip with a dedicated ratchet wrench and socket that I keep in the cargo compartment. Draining the water heater that way allows a lot of the sediment to flush out.

And putting a 'drain valve' on Atwood will not allow full flushing.
Atwood drain hole is only 1/2" and then putting drain valve just makes opening even smaller
