clicking - water heater

When I turn on our Atwood water heater to electric, the converter clicks about every 3 seconds as if it is turning on/off. The w/h is definitely 110v and the breaker is not tripped and we are plugged into 50amp power. This is the only time that the converter makes this noise. Any ideas?

    Water heater should not be wired through the inverter.
    What is make and model of the rig?

    Possible that low voltage occurs when turning on water heater causing inverter to switch to battery source.
