My daughter's water heater on her 6 year old Jayco has never worked correctly since the day they bought it. It will start up, run up to temp, shut off and not restart. Cycle the power switch and it runs another cycle. Various sensors, switches and igniters have been replaced. At least the light on the control panel by the kitchen sink blinks to tell you the water heater did NOT restart. Sigh !
If you are talking about an Atwood water heater, the problem could well be the primary 140° thermostat. If the heater shuts down on the ECO 180° thermostat, it will do exactly as you indicate. Set of thermostats are about $15.00.
