No gas at water heater

On our camping trip for our family reunion my Attwood water heater failed . I could see spark but it is not getting gas . I have the 6 gal , propane type only . Attwood has a good troubleshooting section online. Seems ECO , the circuit board or gas valve are the likely culprits . If i can fix it at home , that i want to try first simply because of poor lifetime planning , i cant afford to take it in . The ECO is cheap , so we probably will rule that out since i just dont have that type of luck . Which device is most likely to be causing the fault . I dont have an on / off on this model , and dont see a listing on breakers or fuse. Since i'm getting spark seems i have 12 volt coming in.

I would check for spider web in the tubing. We had a refrigerator that wouldn't light and the small tube leading to the ignition was filled with web and what looked like dirt. The KOA we were at had a compressor and I took the tube off and blew all the **** out of it and it was good as new.

Check for spiderwebs in the tube? Do you have flame on the stove? If not, you may have a blockage in the line from the tank...or, your propane pressure valve went bad. (That happened to me once). Located at the propane tank(s) it is the "transfer" valve between them.

g'luck !
