water heater breaker keeps tripping
I have a 2011 Berkshire 410QS MH and the water heater keeps tripping its designated breaker. Any suggestions?

Yeah, but unless you're familiar with electricity it's
a job for the repair guy.
If it was me I'd disconnect the wires at the element
on the water heater and check for a short to ground.
If it has tripped the breaker more than once you have
a problem.
It's time for some trouble shooting with a meter and
someone who knows how to use it.
Be careful out there.
You can use it on gas in the mean time.

My guess would be the heating element is bad. I have seen that on someone else's camper. Like KyDan said if you don't know about electricity, better take it to your dealer.

blatch70 is the winner!!!! The heating element was bad, replaced that and put in new anode(sp) flushed tank and now it works like a charm. Lots of hot water and not using our propane.. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

I love a happy ending and folks who take the time
to come back and
"tell us the REST of the story".
