Swap Pilot for Electronic (Water Heater)?
My old trailer had a pilot ignition water heater which worked great and never gave me problems. My new trailer has an electronic ignition Atwood and it does not work on propane, in spite of me trouble...

It doesn't appear to be putting enough gas out. The ignitor sparks and the gas valve solenoid kicks in, but it does not light. If I use a lighter, I get tiny little pops like a small amount of gas is getting there. I have taken apart and cleaned and aligned the burner tube. I have use a small wire to poke the orifice, but I think I need to take it apart and clean it. I just kind of like the simplicity of the pilot ignition, but I have not given up yet.
does your stovetop work and give a full flame? If not, the issue may be with the propane tank excess flow valve. If propane was turned on to fast at the tank, it trips the excess flow and flow will be to low to run the burner for the stovetop, oven furnace or water heater. but enough for the fridge
If it is getting full flow usually blowing out the orifice will solve the problem. maybe the wh gas valve is not functioning properly.
Yes - I turned the stove on and all 3 burners are giving full flame. Even tried the water heater while they were on to see if that made a difference, but it didn't. Going to try cleaning out the orifice.
