Good afternoon,
IF the water heater won't run on gas the problem is more than likely one of these 2 solenoids: https://www.amazon.com/Suburban-5210...%2C155&sr=8-53 They are located behind the gas valve and control the flow of gas to ignite the water heater. I have had them go bad on me and other MOC members rigs. I carry spares with me now because I have found they will go out at the most inoportune time. I have included some pictures of where they are located. It is a pretty simple fix, but requires a bit or disassembly. I would replace both of them to be on the safe side.
