Furnace behavior is a sequence
An RV furnace normally follows a sequence: thermostat call, blower operation, airflow proving, ignition, gas flow, flame sensing, and continued heat. When it stops at a certain point, the symptom becomes more useful. A silent blower, a clicking igniter, and a burner that lights then drops out are three different conversations.
Keep the return-air path clear and do not cover vents to “push more heat” into one room. The furnace needs correct airflow to protect itself. If you smell propane or see soot, shut it down and get qualified help.
