Replacement Anode and Element for a Suburban SW6DE Water Heater

Question:

The hot water heater is not working correctly when in electric mode. Just barely warms the water and trips the CB. I would like to replace the heater element and the anode rod. But cannot find a Heater unit part number anywhere Can you help with this? Keystone RVs 2007 Keystone VR1 310BHS Travel Trailer VIN # 4YDT310267V271425

Yes, I called the manufacturer and they told me you have the Suburban SW6DE Water Heater. We do not have the OEM replacement parts for this unit but we have had customers use the Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod part # CAM11563 and the Camco Water Heater Element part # CAM02143 with success.

If you would like to replace the water heater all together then we have the Atwood RV Water Heater w/ Heat Exchange part # AT96163 which is a very similar unit but I can certainly understand if you just want to repair the one you have now. Don't forget the Camco Wrench part # CAM09883 if you will be changing the element yourself.
