The Anode Rod is part of the Suburban Water Heater's drain plug. It should be checked at least once a year and should be replaced when half of the rod has been corroded away.
If you wait to change the rod until it is totally corroded you stand a chance of corrosive damage to the tank. Also, excess sediment from the Anode Rod can cause flow problems with your RV's freshwater system.
