    I have an Atwood 6 gal LP hot water heater. The tank is aluminum and originally Atwood only installed a drain tap rather than an anode. As an industrial maintenance tech I thought installing an anode would be an good measure to increase the life of the hot water heater tank. The anode is doing the job well. The sacrificial metal is doing what is should do. As I drained the hot water tank for winterization Nov 2018, I got a first hand look at the condition of the rod that was installed Feb, 2018. Its doing what it is designed to do, sacrifice itself to protect the tank.

    No one knows you have to replace these twice a year in a RV or trailer but super important! So easy to change it yourself. Order one before you need it!

    Used this to replace my Suburban SW6P ,Manual, 6 gallon, hot water heater Anode Rod. This Camco 11563 was a direct replacement on my SpringDale Mini 1750RD Camper, 3/4 Thread , 9 1/2 long with a 5/8 Diameter using a 1 1/16 Socket If it had the quick drain valve like the Camco 11533 + it was 9 1/2 long to ensure the whole tank is protected it would have been perfect

    Water Heater anode rod needs to be replaced every six months if using your RV regularly. A fellow RVer advised me of this. I had never replaced the anode and when I did it was more or less completely disintegrated. Replacing it every six months will prolong the life of your water heater and your soft water filter will stay cleaner longer too.

    I used this sacrificial anode to stop a corrosion problem in a Cor-Ten steel water sculpture. It works! Before installing it, the water turned orange with oxide in three days, and I had to drain the pool. Now, the water has stayed clear for two months with no chemicals. I also painted the pond with RustBullet anticorrosion paint, but there are still substantial exposed steel parts. I can tell the anode is working because it is slowly developing pits.

    This rod is super short. It replaced a rod that was the length of my entire water heater, about 4 feet. I dont know if this will hold up as well but it went in easy and looks like a fine quality. I will update this review in a year when I replace it.

    I now keep a spare on hand. The first time I checked the water heater anode (never knew about them before) I pulled out a rusty steel rod core. NO anode! Most RV campgrounds do not stock this part (and there are two different sizes) which means you have to try to track down a parts center. Pain! Camco is as good as any other brand out there.

Camco RV Aluminum Anode Rod extends the life of a water heater by attracting corrosive elements in the water, protecting the tank and elements from corrosion. This Anode Rod fits Suburban and Mor-Flo water heaters.
