B_and_D -

Thanks for your answer. The draining method you refer to is the same one used today, but it not part of the water heater itself. The installation instructions for the Hott Rod include a picture (attached) of a drain valve that is screwed into the metal tank of the water heater. Never seen this on a Suburban. However, a quick look at the Atwood 6 gallon manual shows that it has this plug.

Shane -

The Hott Rodd appears to come with 2 or 3 adapter bushings. Apparently there are only a couple needed sizes among the major manufacturers, and Suburban is on the list. Again, we need to know what Owen has. Owen, I understand your reluctance to pull the trailer out into the cold and snow. Do you have a book of manuals that came with the trailer? I know - like mine, it is probably inside the trailer. But we can't go much further without it.
