2020 Wolf Pup 16FQ Furnace Stopped Working

We were very lucky that the heater issue happened on the last morning of a 3 week trip. It worked fine all last year.

During the trip, every morning I get up earlier than my DW and make coffee, turn the heater on, and do some crossword puzzles. Every morning, the heat worked great, even with temps outside in the low 30s.

This morning, same routine; heater works fine, I turn it off when it's warm in the trailer, the fan blows for a few minutes, turns off. All is good, just like always. When my DW gets out of bed this morning I turn the heater on - Nothing. No fan, no heat, nada.

I have plenty of gas, stove burners are working fine. Fuses are fine. I took the cover off the thermostat and all looks good. I cleaned the contact point, I can hear the click as contact is made, but nothing. Tried several times.

It worked fine all last year. This just started.

Any ideas?

I did figure it out. Listening to hear if there was any attempt to ignite but there was nothing. That meant, I reasoned, it had to be electrical. I took the thermostat off the wall, checked all the wiring and tightened things up. Bingo. Heater furnace is back.
