On RV's it's often the regulator.
I'm just saying. .... check it out and make sure you have gas flow. Turn on your gas stove and make sure you have a good flame. If so ... I'll then get off my soap box.
Nothing wrong with checking for adequate gas flow by using the stove top burners. Leaving a couple "on" while firing the furnace can sometimes visually show a failing regulator.
The OP does state that the furnace "runs for a few seconds". Whether that means a flame is present hasn't been stated.
