There is internal safety devices. If the thing is overheating it may keep it off.
I don't think it's overheating, but maybe the furnace "thinks" it is...?
This was happening on a recent trip where it was below freezing for much of the time we were there. So will have to figure out what component of the furnace will prevent it starting up, if it "thinks" it's overheated. Circuit board? Relay switch?
Another possibility -- I see that the ignition system has a safe-guard that shuts the furnace down for an hour, if after 3 tries, the flame fails to light. That's about the amount of time it takes for the furnace to light up again, after the desired temperature inside the camper is reached, and the furnace shuts down.
