I have an Atwood 6 gal water heater with manual light pilot.
It works great until it rains. We are in Boise Id. And it BRIEFLY rained two days ago pilot went out had to re-light one day later an overnight shower, same story.
I have .... new pilot tube assembly, new valve, two brand new 40 gal tanks and a new regulator.
I have had it to the RV repair shop twice they test everything and tell me it is perfect so it must be all in my head. Lol
If it rains hard for a longer time it is hard to light and if I dismantle the pilot tube assembly and blow it out it looks like water will fly out. Then it will always re-light. The storage area it is in is water tight.
My only solution so far is to never camp when it rains but that is pretty limiting. Haha

It is not suppose to be getting water in there. You will have to use a garden hose and see where the water is getting in at. Maybe you will need to build some sort of deflector.
Have you changed the thermocouple ?
