    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...
