Water heater on Elddis Avante 362 tripping fuse when switched on. Any ideas?

It sounds like the element has turned its toes up, make of heater and year of the van could be useful to add more info for help for you.

Is there water in the boiler?

Do you have and have you read the user instructions for the heater? When you tell us " tripping fuse when switched on" which "fuse" is is "tripping" or do you mean the RCD or an MCB is tripping in the consumer unit? precisely which is important.

Probably the water heater element needs replacing, happened to us a few years ago with our elddis 362, ours was the truma ultrastore 850w

Elddis tend to use Whale water heaters( rapidheat) fitted under the front seats. and on later ones an underfloor unit. In either case its a strip down to check the heater element
