Hot water tank plug / Broke off in threaded hole.

[DennisLoriGD]

Noticed a leak coming from the hot water tank plug on the outside of the 2014 grand design reflection. Went to adjust the plug to stop the water leaking. A slight touch to the plug, and the head of the plastic plug broke off. To say the least a lot of water drained from the hot water tank. Had to turn off the power to the electric/gas heater. Took a major amount of time to screw out the broken piece of plastic that was inside the threaded portion of the area where the plug would go in from the outside, into the hot water tank. Be sure to use new plugs every so often, it is quite obvious they do deteriorate over time ! Thank goodness we had a replacement plug, and my son was very good at getting the remaining pieces of plug out of these threaded portion of the tank! FYI! Dennis
