Breaker Panel Help Please

I was having an issue with my water heater not heating using Electric and discovered the entire right side of my breaker panel was off. I'm more than a little confused. I can't read what the first breaker says on each side of the Main breakers that starts with the letter "G" and I have a 15A breaker on the right side that has no label. I also don't have a Washing Machine but I'm guessing there's a breaker in place in case I install one at some point. I only have one Air Conditioner so why is there a breaker on each side of the Main? With the 12V area, can anyone decipher what No. 13 with the 10A fuse says? I'm adding a smaller version of the picture I took here but if you want to see the full size picture for better clarity, here is the link. Full Size Picture

    Someone could certainly use a lesson on how to properly label a circuit breaker and fuse panel.
    My 5er was prewired for a 2nd A/C that was not yet installed but the breaker was in place. I added the A/C later.
    Did the water heater operate when you turned that breaker on?
    I can't decipher the G labeled breakers either.

    You have 50A service (double breaker in the middle). One of the hots goes to the left breakers and the other goes to the right. Can't imagine any reason other than human error that all the right breakers are off.

    Fuse 13 says "waterheat". Your heater needs 12V when running on propane.

    For me to decipher anything, you'll have to take a closer picture with good focus on the writing. Your bigger picture isn't much bigger.

    Have you talked to the rigs manufacturer? Regarding the AC maybe it is wired for 2 ACs.
