Reversed Neutral/Hot question
I have a polarity checker plugged into an outlet in my MH indicating normal polarity. When I turn on the electric hot water heater, the checker changes to reversed Neutral /Hot. Any Idea as to what ...

Agree that the neutral is suspect. With a digital AC voltmeter with test leads measure the voltage as you turn on the heater and you should see the problem.
Expect 120V hot to neutral and 120V hot to ground and 0V neutral to ground within about a 5V variation when working correctly.
You can buy a voltmeter for $10 and report your findings. You can eliminate the pedestal by trying another pedestal.
