    An anode should last a lot longer than 2 yrs.  Just a guess, but I would suspect either your fresh water holding tank has been mistreated in the past, in terms of attempts to disinfect/sanitize, or else you topped off at some point with drinking water high in sulfates (SO4).  In a warm, moist environment, sulfate - reducing bacteria can convert sulfates in water basically to weak sulfuric acid (H2SO4).  The sewer smell you mention might be due to the H2 component (H2S, hydrogen sulfide).  The acidic nature of the converted sulfate is what destroyed your anode.  

    If anyone on the forum is a chemist or sanitary engineer they can correct or clarify.  You might want to contact RV Magazine (used to be Trailer Life) and I'll bet they can easily diagnose and get you fixed up.

    What he said. Don't ever leave fresh water in your tank. Drain it and try to dry it out,  depending on your system .

    Tell me about it. Shells were $2.99 a box for decades when I moved here from Maine in the mid 70's. Anyone remember Active all plastic shells?

    Yes I do, I would buy them at Smitty's on Almaschool and Warner

    I remember when he won that boat. RIP Harold Chi Chi Chavez. He was a outstanding guy and one of the best jack pot fisherman at Roosevelt ever. Also one heck of a Hunter. His grand son is my neighbor up here. 

    Good luck with the sell, that boat has won a lot of money.
