If your trying to convert 120 volt ac to 12 volt dc you need a transformer to convert it ,It may be easier and safer to disconnect that original 120 ac from the circuit breaker and orphan it and run a new 12 volt wire with fuse to the water heater location....if your trying to convert the 12 volt dc to 120 volt ac then that is a problem....you wouldn’t be able to safely attempt that and the wires terminate in different locations anyway..(120 going to converter location and 12 volt going to battery location).
Looking at the furrian schematic it is indeed 12 volt dc that you need...I would run a new wire from the battery to the water heater location and fuse it accordingly close to the battery. May be able to run it under the trailer if protected from the elements and road hazards
