Erratic water heater lighting
Suburban water heater SW6DE experiencing erratic issues lighting. New trailer on our 2nd trip, but not sure if it's a new issue since I possibly just didn't notice it on our 1st trip. Click-click-clic...

You are lucky it lights !
My daugther's Jayco had intermittent "no-light" on the water heater from the day it was delivered. More like "never lights" ! Several trips back (including one with a $90 service charge because "adjustments" are only have a 90 day warranty) to the dealer and they gave up (especially when in season repair times was more than 2 weeks).
My son-in-law bought new thermostats at Camping World, but they sold him the wrong ones ! I order new thermostats online, but decided just to clean the face of the thermostats and the part of the tank they touch with some Scotch Bright and Brake Cleaner and re-assemble.
Still intermittent but at least 75% of the time it lights. When they notice the "did not light" indicator they just cycle the switch in the TT and it almost always lights the second time.
