I have an older travel trailer, a 1996 Classic and the inside ignition switch to heat the water won't go on. It was very windy yesterday where I live, but I don't think the water works off a gas ignitor. (I think it's an electric fuse that triggers the propane to kick in and heat the water.)
It's an Atwood system model no. gc6a-7e and a 6.2 gallon capacity.
Your heater must have a standing pilot then instead of electronic ignition. They can get blown out so I'd check there after I check for ample gas supply.
In the meanwhile I'll peruse my brain to try and remember how the old ones operated.

Check to make sure you have a good ground, with out it your DSI won't give you a good spark. I had the same problem and it cleared up when I put a new ground from the tank to the frame.
