You have 2 thermostats inside of those covers, little things with a dial on them, turn them with a small screwdriver, Don't go too hot or you will be scalding everybody. Hope this helps.

Make sure it's off (hydro) and open drain at cold line going in bottom wherever you find a drain (usually close to it) going down through floor and outside under trailer. Follow cold line back until you see a line "T" and one line going down under trailer, and open it up underneath. Then open pressure relief valve at top of tank to allow for faster draining .
Anode rods are generic and available from local plumbing supply store or internet. Just cut it off so it drops into the tank without touching the bottom or sediment on the bottom. If there is not enough room above the tank to install new rod, then buy anode rod with sausage links. http://waterheatertimer.org/Replace-anode-rod.html

It could be a thermocouple but first take the whole pilot assembly out and disassemble it. Clean it very good (compressed air is ok) especially the orifice inside the pilot horn. You may just have a weak pilot. If the flame is in good contact with the thermocouple and problem still exist, then change the thermocouple. I believe in doing the free things first.
One of the elements may be bad. With the power off check each one with an ohm meter. Should show continuity.
The tube the cold water come in through goes to the bottom of the tank. If it has come loose and the cold water stays on the top you wouldn't have much hot water.
Brown discoloration is evidence of a rusting or corroded steel pipe somewhere in you plumbing system. Trace the water lines back from the faucet and replace all the steel pipe.
White discoloration is minerals that separate out when the water is heated.
You can change the Anode Rod and it should help. It is not an instant fix, the rod will take a week or two to do its job.
If your water heater is still under warranty, call Rheem, they may replace the water heater free.
