Furnace fails to ignite

Hi everyone,
I have a 2015 Coachman 27QBC which has a standard furnace installed. I have only used this unit about a dozen times - 100%. But. Now the units fan will turn on, try to ignite 3 times then shut down...especially in cold weather!!
During testing to determine cause the unit will ignite at random but generally during 80+ f ambient temperature.
The deep cycle is new and charged and the propane is full.
Any suggestions as to what will fix this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Could be you are at too high of an altitude and not enough oxygen in the air for the furnace to stay lit.

Could also be the gas igniter has moved out of position, just a smidge and she won't light. That's a fun one.

Unless you are pretty inclined mechanically take it to someone who knows what they are doing. Propane gas and electricity are a explosive combo to diagnose and fix!

sounds like a propane supply issue.
switch out the tank for another and try again.

The make and model of the furnace would help us. Try unplugging the 4-wire connection at the igniter board and the wire on the high voltage coil and reconnecting them 2-3 times to quick clean any corrosion on the contacts. The flame sensor works at millivolt levels and it takes very little corrosion to interrupt it.
