Made to any part of the HW heater.
My only point has always been, if the installer made one mistake, they made more. Who is responsible for the defect? The manufacture of the trailer. No one else.
We are hoping that no one else has the problem.
Unfortunately you're not being "clear" at all ... I know of NO trailer manufacturer that would install an aftermarket Hott Rod in any water heater. You haven't even identified the make / model of water heater you have but if by "hot rod" you're referring to a water heater with a manufacturer supplied electric heating element then that would have been installed by the manufacturer of the water heater itself, not the trailer manufacturer. Identifying exactly which water heater you have would provide the answer.
