Water heater won't ignite
2 month old Airstream 22FB Sport water heater quit igniting yesterday. Worked fine after turning it on the day before, but quit after two nice hot showers. Other gas appliances (heater and cook stove) working fine. So, I don't think it is a problem with insufficient gas or air in line.

I'm having the same issue on a 1 year old Serenity. It works on shore power. I can light it manually on propane, but it won't ignite on its own.

I'm having same problem on 4 month old 2017 Flying Cloud 25. Can't figure out how to troubleshoot. Manufacturers pamphlet doesn't offer much to check. Like you, all other gas appliances work fine. Curious, how are you manual lighting? That might work until I can get back to dealer in spring.

To manually light I turn on the propane hot water heater and use my zippo fire starter wand to ignite the burner. It's easier if you have someone turn on the switch while you're outside ready to light it. For me the problem was the circuit board. Once replaced it works fine. Dometic/Atwood arranged to have a mobile tech come out to my house to replace the board. Great customer support.

I can get it to ignite using a fire starter, as you described, but it goes out after a few seconds. I may have to wait until I get to a dealer. Thanks for the tips.
