Water heater Anode

I have the 2013 233s Roo. It comes with the 6 gallon Suburban SW6D water heater. I pulled the anode out and it needs replaced but I can't find anywhere the part number. Anyone have this problem??

If you do a google search with your water heater model it will bring up all the information you need, including a pdf of the owner's manual. Amazon has several, I believe the suburban owners manual specifies to use only suburban anodes so it's up to you if you get that or one of the camco anodes that has a drain petcock which makes for easier winterizing. The Suburban part number is 232767.

Not a good plan. The anode is there for a reason.

Bad move if it's a Suburban, which is what the OP has.

Sacrificial Anode basics:

Hot water heater anodes and rust protection

They are called sacrificial for a reason

Much easier to replace the anode every couple years than a water heater....and a lot cheaper.
