Micro Minnie water heater not lighting

I have a 2018 Micro Minnie 2106 and the hot water heater has always taken several attempts to light. Now it just won’t. There is plenty of propane and the furnace lights fine. Breakers are on and fuses are good. I’ve turned the switch off and on multiple times. It’s clicking and trying but no ignition. Any ideas?

There are lots of videos on YouTube that cover water heater troubleshooting. It can be something simple... but not always.

If you’re mechanical, watch some videos and start looking at it while it’s attempting to light to see what the problem appears to be.

If you aren’t the DIY kind of person, I’d suggest you find an independent RV shop or repair tech, rather than a dealer.

RV water heaters are common items that any tech worth their salt would be well versed with.

As it is one of the "added on" parts of the RV, there may be a booklet in the bag of info? That would be one place to look for a troubleshooting section. If not finding what is looking right that way, I move to looking for the exact model number and who made it as there is likely to be a label on the outside door area. with that info, you can usually find a manual or info online that fits exactly which heater you have. One of the DIY tricks to start with is taking a look for anything that might be blocking airflow like wasp nests and then wiggle around on any wire connections that might be getting corroded.
If you have the type which uses 110AC for some of the time, do use care to disconnect from power!!! RV get lots of corrosions on things and they do a lot of shaking so checking connections is sometimes all it takes.
