I would suggest that the heating element has some pits (indentations) in it. This will cause a "spitting" noise that can be quite annoying, at times. Your only solution, if this is the problem, is to replace the heating element.

On edit, I want to say that it is not a big deal to replace the element. I replaced one on an '04 Big Sky that pulled into a CG in Michigan. This fellow had never owned a 5er before and had nothing - I mean nothing. No blocks, no hoses, nothing. I took pity on him and helped him get set up and leveled. Then, when his water heater wouldn't heat the water, we decided it was the element. The hardest part of removal and replacement was getting the socket. Anyway, after a few moments and some teflon tape, all was good with the world.
