Thanks for this link!

There you go....a 'solution' for a problem that doesn't exist and creates a new problem.

An anode rod for an Atwood water heater......:S

An then add an small pet cock drain so that the rod doesn't get pulled and tank properly flushed out.
It's difficult enough to get debris flushed out thru the OEM 1/2" drain hole but now you have a small 3/8-1/4" drain hole :H

Just because items are for sell in aftermarket doesn't mean they are needed, useful or better.

NO anode rods for Atwood.
Anode rods for Suburban.
Remove drain plugs and drain/flush water heater tank at least once a year.
and if you really need to buy some do-dad get a flushing wand to clean out the sediment/debris in tank thru the drain hole

Man - I feel like I've been spanked!
