Smile Suburban water heater gas install a electric kit

Hi I own a 2018 263bh Coleman.
The water heater is a suburban 6w6d that work with propane only, I want to install
the kit to run the water heater with electric power but I notice the water heater has a anode rod.
To install the heat element on the drain plug I need get rid of the anode rod.

Somebody made this on this brand?
How long ?
Do you notice more calcium or corrosion on the water heater?

Thanks for your help !!!

The advertisements show the kit comes with anodes so there shouldn't be any problems. Most reviews are positive which is a good thing.

That is the heat element, no anode rod
