Hot Water Heater Fail

I have a 2002 Jayco Eagle Summit Pop Up. I can light the pilot for the hot water heater and have hot water without any problem for an hour or so. After awhile I notice I'm not getting hot water and then I see that the flame is out. I've checked the propane tank and there is plenty. Any suggestions?

Another issue could be a bad thermocoupler. Here is some info on that..Atwood Water Heater Troubleshooting - Pilot

Also, the thermocouple connection at the gas valve could be loose or dirty. Check that the pilot light flame surrounds the end of the thermocouple. There is a file on this site - Atwood Water Heater Service Manual - which gives some information about Atwood water heaters. If it is the thermocouple itself, they are not too expensive.
