Hello! First time posting 
I've been trying to trouble-shoot my water heater online, but the symptoms just don't line up with what I read. I'm full-time living in an '06 Nash 5th wheel, if it's relevant. My pilots are all electronic on-demand ignition, no continuous pilot lights. Over the fall my water heater would sometimes go through a series of loud clicking sounds that I'm still not sure what they were- sometimes it would heat, other times it would light up the "reset" bulb, I'd shut it off, wait a bit, turn it back on and it would kick on. The problem was intermittent.
But it recently stopped working. I turn it on, you hear the click of the pilot igniting, you hear the heater kick on, you hear the muffled roar of the water heating for 1, 5, or even 30 seconds- then it all just shuts off and the reset light comes on. It's igniting. It's starting to heat the water. It's even managed to heat the water to a measurable degree. But then it dies out. Sometime immediately, sometimes after a minute. What's happening?
