Hot water tank draining
Just got our KZ Spree Travel Trailer ready for winter :( Forgot how to relieve the pressure on the hot water tank. Unscrewed the rod to drain the tank, and the extra pressure in the tank, I got a bat...

Why pull the rod at all if you are just draining to winterize. Easiest is to open low point drains, open taps and flip pressure valve. All the water will drain out of the HWH negating the need to remove the anode.
My experience is that the low point drain will not completely drain the water heater. Also if you use antifreeze, you would have to fill the water heater completely with antifreeze to pressurize the hot water system to get it through all the hot water pipes. Much easier to pull the rod and bypass the water heater with the antifreeze.
