I'm sure your propane is on, so I'd check for spiderwebs, mudwasp, or other critters in the burner area. JM2¢...

My 5er did that once. I cycled it on/off several times and it never did it again.

As it has happened to me, My money is a a defective sail switch.

RV heaters have a paddle type safety switch called a Sail Switch, that hangs down in front of the fan outlet. When you turn on the heater, the blower fan starts, the airflow causes the padddle on the Sail Switch to close a circuit which tells the gas valve that the airflow has been proven and it is safe to open the valve and ignite the gas.

Simple fix but I think it will requre pulling the heater in order to get to the switch
