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...

Temp/Press Relief Valves are brass.
BUT if anti-seize dope has NOT been used they are a real PITA to remove
Not removing drain plug and just draining via a petcock....
Atwood drain hole is only 1/2" opening .......petcock is 1/4".
It will drain water BUT you can't adequately flush/rinse out tank.
Hard to do thru the 1/2" drain hole let alone a hole the size of a pencil
I remove my Atwood drain plug then turn on water supply and let if blast out full force.
Amazed at the crud that comes out.
Just saying...........
