Water heater plastic plug cross thread
So this is my 3rd camper w the same Atwood water heater w/plastic plug. It's terribly located to get a wrench to tighten it, and it cross threads everytime I try to reinstall it. There has to be a way...

take a good look at your plug, if the threads are messed up a bit get a new one at lowes.
PVC or even CPVC are not the same.
Have the same 1/2" NPT threads BUT are NOT same when it comes to TEMPERATURE ratings.
The NYLON drain plug Atwood uses is rated for 400*F +
PVC Sch 80........140*F
CPVC Sch 80.......200*F
Atwood normal temp ----140*F T&P Relief valve 210*F
Best to use OEM Nylon plug.......come 2 to package
