Tripping service breaker for garage outlet.......
WH element is 1440W and can pull 12--12.5 amps
Add in converter especially when charging batteries
PLUS anything else on that garage outlet circuit???

With CB immediately tripping......bad element.
At least with a Suburban it is right there under burner tube in outside compartment vs on backside of WH tank like Atwoods
