Any RV sales and service dealer can get parts for you, if they don't already have them in stock. Is the pilot staying on at all? If yes, what happens when you turn from pilot, to On? One easy thing to try is undo thermocouple (probe that sits above pilot flame) from gas valve (3/8" wrench) and clean the end of the thermocouple with fine steel wool, as well as spray some WD-40 into the hole it came out of, and give it a blast of compressed air after to clean it out as well. (protect your eyes) Then re-install the fitting and snug it up good, and try lighting again. You may get lucky that it's just corroded or dirty, and this may cure that.
Although I could walk you through it, testing of the components requires some dis-assembly and re-assembly of the gas valve components which by law requires a certified gas technician, and could certainly present a dangerous situation for someone who's not experienced in that area. An experienced technician shouldn't charge any more than 1/2 hr. labor to diagnose and replace gas control if required. Atwood recently changed gas controls as well for many of their water heaters, so a little retrofit may be required so it gets a little tricky if you haven't done the retrofit before. Wish I could give you more, but liability, and your safety are top priority when it comes to gas appliances.Please, have a certified technician do it.
