So, I just winterized ours yesterday with the blow out method. It's the only method that I used on our last camper, and never had any issues.
However, on our last one, we didn't have an anode rod when we got it. First owners had just installed a plug, and it was rusted in there. I ultimately was able to get it out, but I never did put an anode rod back in, I instead, installed a brass shutoff valve, so I never had to take that plug out again.
So, with our new Monty, I took out the anode rod, drained the tank, and then put the anode rod back in. I was worried about bugs getting into the water heater. Not worried about them living in there, but more worried about them decaying in the water and making it smell.
Is that something that people have issues with? We have a LOT of bugs that find their way into small places...
