I would take a positive and a negative from your battery to your water heater. Feed it through your rig however you can, and connect it to the water heater 12 volt positive and 12 volt negative terminals. If that ends your problem, lift one side and see if it still works. If that doesn't, lift the other side and reconnect the first side lifted.
