I am purchasing a 2006 Nelmstar double wide and the water heater is located in the middle of the home accessible through an access door through the master bedroom closet. I am worried about a leak. Is there something that can be put under the water heater to prevent water damage?
Also, we drain it twice a year and am concerned about the safety valve. Since it is inside we cannot open the valve to drain.

They make pans that the heaters sit in, they don't hold a lot but a slow leak will be contained. as for draining you have to add a lenght of garden hose and drain into the tub or outside if you want. You could also have the dealer install an outside drain before you take delivery. Greg
"If I can't fix it, I can screw it up so bad no one else can either."
You can also put a leak detector in the pan, like this one available through the Books & Parts link above (under plumbing).
