I wrote a note to myself to make sure the pressure was off the system before removing the anode.  I hope to not get a facefull three years in a row.

==========================

If you are right there at the hot water heater and forgot to open a faucet inside the camper you can always pull the relief valve lever.

Not fast enough.  The water was all out and all over me before I knew it!  Cold too!

Did you get a little anti freeze out of the city water supply inlet, to clear the water from there? Do not attempt it with pressure on the system. Shut the pump off and and open a faucet, then remove the screen for the inlet and push the tip on the check valve and hold it till you see some antifreeze.
 
Here is a diagram just imagine your siphon tube for antifreeze being between the fresh water tank and the water pump.
