I will agree with OntMont. When we left for the rally our anode was about half way through near the threads. Yesterday I pulled it out to replace and it was all gone except for the steel core holding the eight inch tip to the threads. I wonder if it works like that? It should as steel is a good conductor.

No, it won't work like that. The anode is properly called a "sacrificial anode". It is usually a magnesium rod that corrodes very easily, thus protecting any the other metallic components from corrosion.
