Did you say the breaker was labeled bot RECPT and Water Heater? This is non-code. Even for RV's. The Water heater is 1200-1500 watt, that's 10-12.5 amps, THe breaker should be either a 15 or 20 depending on the wire hooked to it, and the RECPTICALs should be on a 15 amp breaker, the heater is 12.5 amps
12.5 plus 12.5 is 25 and that will trip either a 15 or a 20, add in the converter and you can pop the 30 as well.
