Empty Hot Water Tank

[TheGreatWaz00]

New to Rv-ing and loving it. It will be a month or so between our trips so would you recommend draining the hot water tank between trips? I do not keep it heated while the camper is at home.

I never drain. If you are on city water it is not necessary. Well water maybe?
Would you drain your home tank if you left for a month?

You said a month or so....I'd drain it. 5 minute job.

I drain mine before leaving the campground.

I drain my entire system after every outing. (Usually about 2 months or so between trips.)
But if you don't want to drain complete system, at least I would open the popoff valve like bguy suggests every week or so.
Reason being, mine got sour on me a couple of times.

I drain mine after every trip.1

I never empty mine except to winterize. Never even considered it. If you're connected to city water you could pull open the blow off valve and let some fresher water in as often as you feel necessary. For me that'd be before each outing I guess.

I drain mine at the end of the season.
