Any rv techs on here

Looking for someone to help me out with my hotwater heater on my 5th wheel, I replaced the t stat and the Eco and still no go no flame no spark just two click noises and nothing but I do smell propane so I'm thinking either my board or the electrodes any other options or solutions id like to hear them thanks

Sounds like the board is done , it's fairly common , either that or the small butt connectors in there , when bleeding air from the valve there sometimes water comes with it and will corrode those little connectors try unplugging and plugging back in after cleaning

Thanks man I was thinking it was the board too but what about the electrodes!? I don't get any spark outa there or nothing yet my light in the trailer switch stays on after it clicks once than comes on clicks again and than nothing but the smell of propane

Try the connectors first see if they are greenish coloured , I've been through this a few times, first couple times it was the little connectors , after that it was a board, easy peasy fix yourself if not under warranty

well thanks man the connectors are all pretty good looking im gonna go after the box next, it isnt even trying to spark it on so well try that, the thing is im not sure if its the one spark model or 3 spark one but hopefully i can get it tested tomorrow, could it be the electrodes?

Could be but highly unlikely , the "spark plug" is pretty well protected , and for the most part is a rarely used part, the circuit board has power all the time, so they tend to be the culprit
