Where's the bypass for the water heater?

Does every water heater have a bypass? Seems like an easy way to save manufacturing cost by not supplying one?
My water heater does not have a bypass. I think that because it is mounted under the bed where it is difficult to access they thought it was not needed.
I wish it did have one it sure would make life easier. I could add one but, I'm afraid to mess with the plumbing on my 27 year old TT. It still has the original water heater. Which still has, what looks like, the original anode rod screwed into the back of it. I'm afraid to try and screw it out.
I must ask,
How are you draining the WH without ever removing the anode rod ?
It's 27 yrs old so something is working. Lol
The anode rod on this water heater is on the back of it and not even on the bottom !! It's screwed in about half way up.
There is a drain for the tank on the bottom of the camper that is plumbed into the bottom of the water heater right where the lower water line hooks up.
It looks like a standard RV water heater but, I haven't seen one with this configuration before.
