The fan stayed on and the flame on/off happened two more times, and then the blower went off. This happened two days in a row.
Then, I drove the RV to a new campground, and on a whim tried the furnace again. This time, it worked!
But now I'm wondering what the problem was and if it will happen again. And whether there are cheap parts I should have on hand.

Could have been air in the line. Did you fill your propane tank prior to starting the heat? I've been advised to light the burners on my stove top to get all the air out that could have gotten in when filling the tank. The stove top is the highest point and this is a good idea. Bob Trice
