Water Smells Bad

Is there an easy way to Drain the hotwater heater? Will the low point drain empty the hot water heater? (didn't seem like enough water comes out to represent all the water that should bave been in the tank. I am looking for an option other than pulling the Anode rode every time I put the unit in storage but that may be the only answer.

Camping World makes an anode rod with a petcock on the end of it for this purpose. Have not tried it. I drain and flush with the wand a couple of times a season.

Well, we have been camping our way out west with no more smell. When I opened the W/D faucet, it was obvious that was the source. We are now smell free. Thanks, everyone, for all of your assistance.

Success. Just got back from two weeks out west and no smell on the water. The forum comes through again.
