Easy way to drain water heater?
I like to drain the water heater almost every time after we use the trailer (2013 Keystone cougar 31sqb). However the Adnode (sp?) rod is a pain to take in and out just due to the angle and the amount...

Low point drain will not siphon out debris from water heater.
It is best to remove the anode.
Even on out non-anode equipped water heater(Atwood) the angle can be a problem.
I am able to use a properly sized socket and extension to remove my plug.
You maybe able to do the same with your Suburban water ehater anode. Remove the anode the hard way, get a socket that fits and at least a six inch extention. These will be normally 1/2 drive. I use a 12 inch extension to make it easier. Odd sockets can be found at times in pawn shops.
