Did this come with a gasket?

Correction, gasket was found and it was provided

Will this work with the rte 13? my broken element says 208v 5500w.

Probably not. This is a 4500W element & you likely need a 5500W.

Is this element better than model sp10552mh which says resistered. does it provide faster recovery due to foldback design

It’s been great! I’ve never had an issue with this replacement

Will this work in a rheem mobile home (model 82-30-1) electric water heater? unit is a 240v, single element, 30gal electric water heater.

What I did was go to the Rheem website and find the exact model heater I had and there you can find the part number for that part in your water heater then search for that on Amazon.
