If you disconnect the white wire on the WH you can isolate the problem from the wiring or the unit.

The heating unit is 110VAC

Hope this helps

I had similar issues on my 26 Ft Cougar. Took it back to the dealer and they found the voltage drop but no apparent reason for it. After contacting suburban directly, the tech pulled the heater unit out and found that the electrical connections at the rear of the unit had not been properly tightened and were shorting out. We were fortunate that we did not have a fire. I would suggest not using the electric on the heater until it is repaired.
