If you are plugged in (20A source) then rig should have 12V DC via converter
Does fridge panel have lights on....does inside light come on?
If YES yo have DC power.
Turn on store top burners ALL of them on HIGH.
After prolong periods of idle propane appliances take several attempts to light off.
Propane flow is limited to 6-8 seconds thru gas valves (water heater, fridge, furnace) before power is dropped closing gas valves when no main flame is sensed.
So it can take many attempts to get propane flow thru-out the system
When you tried water heater.....were you out by it and watching/listening for spark firing ??? It should make a strong CLICK CLICK CLICK IF you have good DC voltage.
Your WH is a Suburban SW6DE-------Suburban Water 6 gal Direct spark Electric
Electric element is below/behind gas valve under black cover
On/Off switch for electric is in lower left corner behind gas valve
Electric set of t-stats and propane set of t-stat under 'Push to Reset' cover above gas valve (120V AC for electric Left button-----12V DC for propane Right Button)/////////Push the Right 'reset' button to make sure HI temp t-stat is reset. No operation of propane if tripped....stops all DC at the t-stat
When you tried furnace did fan start/run?
If it didn't....DC Power?
