Captain,
How fast was the clicking? A fast click could be either the furnace or HW trying to light. If memory serves, it would try three attempts and go into lockout mode. That would require a manual reset.
A slower click would most likely be a circuit breaker. The cheap made in China OEM circuit breakers are the cause of many electrical faults. I have replaced all of the OEM curcuit breakers after one felt a part when I touched it. I don't know why it was still working because the bimetal strip was rusted, thankfully it didn't weld it's self shut.
If it happens again I would start pulling the fuses until it stopped, then trace that circuit as best you can. Dutchmen doesn't have the best wiring practices, so you could be looking at a pinched wire that has made contact with ground. I found a 120V wire that has been flopping around in the wall cavity and managed to rub down to bare copper on a way too long screw holding the thermostat on the wall.
Good luck in finding the problem.
