Suburban water heater wont relight after first start

If you turn the switch off and back on it restarts but wont otherwise. Its in a new to us camper so history is unknown. Could it be a faulty thrrmostat? Testing method? Thanks in advance.
  • If it's manual, try doing a pilot light first. It's counter-intuitive but my water heater won't bypass the pilot-light stage to go straight on.
