Are you on shore power this happens or on batteries.
If on batteries. Have them (the batteries) tested because that is what the Atwood will do if he batteries are not up to the job of overnight .
WHY: The T-Stat calls or heat.. The blower comes on, When air flow is high enough a "Sail Switch" (wind powered switch) closes and the burner lights. If the sail switch does not close within a specified time the blower shuts off and it locks out. LOW battery means the blower does not blow hard enough.

If on shore power so batteires are full up then it's more complex.. Obeserve the furnace (remove outer cover) as the thing cycles and let us know what happens for more info.
Does it light and then go out (yes/no) or does it not even try to light.
Do you hear the CLICK of the gas valve, the snap of the ignition system or not
These are questions we need answered to diagnose.
Only took required is a screwdriver to remove outer panel
There is a "Switch" (Really a circuit breaker) in the outside compartment you can use to cycle it if the T-Stat is set high enough.
