6 gal electric hot water heater upgrade
Have a 18 ft Jayco and hot water heater went out. Wanting to see if anyone has ever replaced the original with a smaller electric one. Don’t really like the use of propane for anything inside.

I’ve not seen a residential water heater without an anode. The 6 gallon in my shop needs the top removed to access it. Before installing a new water heater, remove the often over tightened anode and reinstall with Teflon tape and do not over tighten, this is so future service will be easy. Water conditions will determine how often an anode needs replaced.
I replaced the one in my DD house, after a few tries with a 24' breaker bar, I just got out my impact wrench!
I bought a GE hybrid water heater and didn't "just" get out an impact wrench, I got out the 1/2" electric impact wrench, followed by the 1/2" air powered impact wrench and finally a borrowed 3/4" impact wrench. I shouldn't have waited to remove that one.
