My 15 year old Atwood G6A-7 does not have and anode rod. Instructions say it has a clad aluminum tank and does not need an anode. They warn you not to stick an after market electric rod into the tank using the drain valve hole, for several reasons. The problem is even if I did that getting power to it would be a real chore. Has anyone used the drain valve hole for the Hot Rod?
Previous owner installed one in the drain plug and it works fine. Only problem its a little more work to drain the tank as the rubber cap for the power and the gas works is a tight fit.
