Jim, you misunderstood the post. I have not yet found where the element is located, but thanks for the advice anyway.
I thought you were talking about a bad heater element in your Atwood tank that is installed at the factory, and wired up by the RV manufacturer? A device situated in the back of the tank so it's hard to get to?
If that's the case, I was suggesting a backup plan that for under $100 you can add an aftermarket heater element in the drain hole, accessible from the outside, powered with an extension cord, so you don't need to replace the OEM electrical heater element until it's convenient for you.
I'm a full timer and seldom stay in a town that has any RV service I'd want to use so having an option is important to me.
