I definitely have gas, I bled the system, and it's an Atwood water heater. I'm just sticking a log lighter when I hear the gas and it stays lit for a few seconds and then turns off.
Sounds like the air mixture sleeve or the thermocouple/flame sensor. Can you slide the perforated sleeve to let more or less air in? Too much air and it will blow itself out, too little and the flame won't be strong enough.
Does the stove top light and stay on?
There is also the possibility you have a clog or something in the flame port. I used to get stink bugs in mine I would have to pull them out with tweezers. Mud daubers will clog them too.
