The water heater should not have tripped the 50 amp breaker. There should be a 20 amp breaker specifically for the water heater that would trip well before the 50 amp main breaker. I am thinking you have something going on besides a water heater issue.
Did you reset the 50 amp breaker? And did it trip again afterward? I would leave the 120 vac turned off to the water heater and run it on propane only. And see if the breaker trips again.
