I can understand not traveling with the hot water heater 'on' using propane but emptying the tank every time you tow is simply never done; completely unrealistic!
Why unrealistic to empty? Takes less time then emptying fresh water tank
Nothing within setting up a camper for a weekend should involve needing tools (wrench, sockets, plumbing tape etc... ) to drain and reinstall a plug or anode rod. My tank does not fully empty with the low point drain. Also there is the fact that the water might still be very hot and as well, you end up in a 6, 10 or 12 gallon mess around your camper or your neighbor's camper as you're tearing down. Our's is a 10 gallon tank.
We, as well as many other RVers, use their rigs (in particular bathrooms) while traveling and if is nice to have so warm water to wash up. We also don't drain the fresh water tank.
To each their own but it's just not something practical for many of us to do.
