If you look up your model on the Keystone website, it should show your tank capacities. In our case with a 3791RD, it has 66 Gallons Fresh water, which includes the 12 gallon water heater and water lines making the tank itself around 50 gallons.
Black (waste water) is 49 gallons and the Gray water is 88 gallons, split between 2 44 gallon tanks, as I understand it. Look at your model here...
https://www.keystonerv.com/product/m...h-wheels/specs
The 3761FL and 3931FB both have 88 gallon waste water capacities and both have 2 bathrooms and 2 black tanks.

Not sure if it would hurt anything, but it's not necessary. The anode rod is made of sacrificial metal, like magnesium, so it will corrode to prevent the steel tank from corroding. In the case of an aluminum tank, it wouldn't be of any benefit. The dissimilar metals may actually be harmful in the aluminum tank, not really sure. It may be more harm than good.

RMcNeal, we have a 3931FB. Keystone specs the fresh water tank at 66 gals. I never knew until today Keystone included the HW tank in that 66 gals. I use a water meter when filling our fresh water tank and could never figure out why I could only put about 50 gals, in what I thought was a 66 gal tank. Thanks! Keystone should spell that out.

That's the rub. They specify fresh water capacity rather than tank size. It's quite misleading.

If it isn't working none of the downstream protected plugs will work. The GFCI will only reset if the line into the plug is hot or energized.

For the smelly water you may try sanitizing your fresh tank. Also, flush water through your washer lines. They get stagnant after a while if you don't have a washer.

I usually do as well, but you should still sanitize the lines at least annually, especially if you drink the water.

You can use bleach. About 1/4 cup per 16 gallons. Drain fresh tank and water heater then refill with bleach and water mix. Bypass water heater before filling with bleach solution. Run through all faucets and lines until you smell bleach. Let sit about 12 hours. Don't forget washer lines. They get stagnant if you don't have a washer. I added cutoff valves to mine and keep them drained.
Here's a pretty good explanation...

As far as electrical, I Agee it sounds like gfci. It won't reset if something is plugged in causing a fault. Your basement might also be gfci so Check it as well.

Sorry, that was confusing. Make sure power is on to gfci outlet in order to reset it. If it has no power, it won't reset. If something is plugged into it or downstream that caused the fault, it also won't reset.
It storming so typing on my phone. Sorry for the poor explanation.

Hello,
I just noticed pooling of water under my hot water compartment - appears to be coming from the tip of the anode/plug/spigot)
I just changed the anode last summer - do I need to do it again?
Thanks

If it is leaking around the anode rod itself, you may need to put teflon tape around the threads. Is it possibly leaking from your relief valve? If so, the valve could be going bad or the heater is getting too hot. Make sure you have an air pocket in the water heater. Here's a good explanation...

To the OP, at least you have a fresh water overflow......the fresh water overflow installer guy that was assigned to my unit was sick that day. My water just pours out of the belly.
As far as the GFI circuit.....I'm not suggesting you do as I did but I eliminated mine because they were always tripping when my Onan started. I don't know your situation but start by unplugging anything from your GFI outlets and and reset the GFI. If it doesn't reset you may have a faulty GFI. Question, do you have a factory installed inverter? If so in some cases Keystone wires the inverter directly to the GFI which also has causing issues...
