Atwood camper heater>>> repaired with pictures page 2

Found manual that says 7900, 8012, 8500 series. The heater will not keep flame on. The blower starts, I hear the igniter coming on 3 times every few seconds, can feel some heat coming for a moment...

Not too familiar with Atwood heaters, but I would venture to say that most (all?) heaters have a thermocouple and your's may either be bad or has moved out of the pilot flames path. It's what gets hot and opens the gas flow (valve). Try moving it into the flames path - happens to the oven too.
