Is the water fresh? Sometimes the anode rod can make the hot water that’s been sitting for a while smell like eggs? Gotta run clean water through it?
We were in Florida for 2 months, after like week 4-5 it started, no one else had an issue. Since we were using full time for 2 months, water as cycled often for showers and kitchen duties. Crazy huh?

As Midnight Rider said, it might be wise to turn off your water heater, let it cool down, remove the anode rod and flush the heater out. Inspect the anode, and replace if necessary. They do make differ kinds of anode rods for specific water types. However, if no one else is having issues at the park it sure seems like the issue is specific to your rig. So, the anode type is like not the issue, but I would still remove, inspect and clean the inside of the tank some how.

A long shot would be that you might be the one with an incompatible anode, so I would check the part number when you have it out for flushing.
