I may have missed it, but I did not see anyone mention the fact Atwood water heaters not only do not use the anode rod, they also state not to on their heaters. The Atwood and Surban use different materials in their tanks. The Surban's use a steel tank, and the Atwood's aluminum, as I recall.

I think most residential tanks are steel, and use the anode rod. How often do you drain your water heater tank at home? How often do you change the anode rod?

Very true and the reason Suburban tanks are steel with a glass lining. The reason for the anode rod is the glass well crack and the anode becomes the sacrificial metal. If it doesn't have the anode rod and you have any cracks in the glass lining in your tank you take chance on damaging the steel tank. The magnesium or aluminum on the anode is a softer metal than steel so it erodes away saving the steel in your tanks. The same way as the sacrificial anodes on the outboard and outdrives on boats.

We put a rubber bed matt in the truck. Custom fit for silvered 2500 It looks good. We are getting her ready today to take off for a week and a half trip to so-cal going to see our friend mickey mouse and friends.

Where are you staying while down there?

Yesterday was the warmest day(37 degrees)in several weeks so I just couldn't help myself...Had to go out and pay attention to my lonely sheltered 2011 Eagle Cap 950 TC....Waxed the November trip bugs off the front of it and opened the front Water Pump and Plumbing Access Panel and did a bunch of foam pipe and foil panel insulating in and around the accessible plumbing. All in anticipation of our next road trip south. No date set yet but sure getting anxious.

Well i did this to the truck recently; installed my super hitch receiver that i was lucky enough to find used. I had to get new bolts and nuts though. It came with a 48" hitch extension the plug extension, the chain tensioners, and leveling bars and mounts for a trailer! Put in some new bump stops for the rear overloads so they engage quicker-what a difference. Put on some front leveling leaf springs to get rid of the nose sniffer stance my 04 ford had. new good year shoes and new shocks on the front. Next its time for oil/filter and fuel filter changes again.

My front hitch came in the mail today . Was going to install it before camping this weekend but its rained all day. I bought the wrong one off ebay (seller said it fit my truck but it fits hd not standard version of my truck and I would have to pay shipping back to seller,always read the small print) so I will be selling a front hitch. also installed some hubcaps I had laying around on my little trailer

But the big question is did you camp anyway? ;)

going this weekend and next weekend :) happy camper
