Gas water hester won't ignite

Set up camp last night. Only our 2nd camp trip with a new 2017 28RBS. The gas stove burners work, so LP seems to be on, but the gas water heater won't ignite?? We have hot water from electric so it doesn't seem to be the water heater. Advice?

On my 24RBS, I have 2 switches on the control panel.
1 for HW electric, 1 for HW gas
If your's is the same, do have you chosen gas for HW?

Thanks for your quick response! We have 3 settings; gas, electric, or both. We've tried all without luck. It worked last time. We used electric except turned had on just before showers to best up faster and had no problems. It sounds like its trying to ignite... hear a clicking noise. Don't see any kinks or clogs, spider end, etc.?

Sometimes it's difficult to purge the air out of the propane line with the small volume of gas that the pilot light uses. Let it keep trying to light, over and over.

If it has sat for any period of time, take the burner tube apart and make sure you don't have a spider living in there. I always used electric and when I took it somewhere for the first time that I needed to use gas it wouldn't light.....spider web in the burner tube preventing the flow of gas.....
