    Which Forest River Models have Heated Tanks?

    I have a Rockwood, but I am considering going to a rig with heated black and grey tanks and water tank. Cherokee models like Grey Wolf and Arctic Wolf seem to have them. Are there others?

    Emptying fuel tank:

    Hey y'all.... I'm looking for a pump to remove about 35 gals of gas from my fuel tank in my F-450 2004 22890DS LE SunSeeker. Fuel has been in there for about 2 years so running engine with current gasoline doesn't sound like a good idea (wish it was...). Looking around the web I find some. I am...

    Black water holding tanks

    Does anyone use a black water above ground holding tank? I want to try this method as it is only my wife and me, and only for 2 to 7 nights in our TT on our property. When we travel, we stay at places where we can dump, but when we use our TT as a temp spot on our own property, I think it would...

    Black tank odor?

    We bought a 2019 Salem by Forest River end of July 1st of August. We've never owned an RV so we knew nothing about it. We were promised many things from the owner of the dealership about teaching/showing us everything we needed to know but once he took our money we didn't exist. We got...

    Adding safety chains to a propane tank to help keep it from falling to the road

    Due to the cracks and outright failures a few people have reported on their later model year Georgetowns, and because we had two cracks on our 2020 Georgetown GT5 with 17,000 miles, we wanted to add some type of "last resort" protection to keep the propane tank from falling and possibly hitting...

    Fresh Water Accumulator Tanks

    When boondocking, my biggest annoyance is the water pump constantly cycling. While washing hands or dishes with the valves half-open, it cycles every 3-4 seconds, causing the lights to flicker from the in-rush current draw. I know its supposed to have a bypass, and I could go chase that down...

My question is this, how can I drain the tank without removing the water heater anode? It's a 2-gallon tank. When we get back from a trip, I open...
