A little more information would be helpful like does the LP gas tank have gas in it and is it turned on, do the other gas appliances work OK, does the dometic thermostat call for heat, is there 12 volt power in the trailer, and has the furnace worked in the past? Just for some basic information.

Mine is hard to light after it has set for a while unless I light the stove first and run it for a few seconds to be sure the gas lines are all full.

Do you hear the igniter sparking as it tries to light?

Where are you that is cold enough to get the furnace to come on in June?

The gas is fine. The fan is blowing so loud I can't hear if it's trying to ignight or not. I don't think it is.

Hmmm, I suppose it might.

I can hear mine spark over the fan. Maybe listen outside?

It appears to be the ignigher.

Try cleaning the igniter and adjusting the spark gap B4 replacing it. It just might work, you never know...
