Default Water shut off, again

If it were a frame home, I'd do that, with the valves on
both sides. And either copper unions, or flex. However, it's
a trailer. So, the WH connections are far higher than any
sink or tub.

Wouldn't it need a heat trap on the hot side only?

The flexible tubing might avoid the need for copper unions,
since the flex has swivel ends. Good idea.

Put one on both the supply AND outlet, that way you can
change tank
again if you have to without draining the house down.
Change the drain
valve to a ball valve before you even install it. If you
want to get
really slick, use flexible tubing and/or a handful of elbows
and make a
"heat trap" on both inlet and outlet sides. Have fun!
