Hello all!
Our trailer isn’t at our house, the owners manual is in the trailer, and I need a new water heater anode. Does anyone know the model number of the anode I need, please? I also need a fresh water tank drain valve, so if anyone has the sizing on that, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks! Jane

You need a 6 gallon water heater Anode.
The difference in anodes is the size of your water heater.
 
Anode

It is the same as I used in my Rpod as well.

I’ve always used the magnesium anode as opposed to the aluminum. The aluminum one I installed by mistake one spring showed very little sacrifice halfway through the summer. I had bought two and had bought one magnesium and one aluminum as I still had the packaging for the one I installed. Swapped over to magnesium and it started to sacrifice immediately. I usually get two or three seasons out of an anode.
