Two reasons, first would be that the burner is dirty and needs cleaning. Second is that the thermocouple is either faulty or incorrectly installed. By this I mean that it might be slightly too far away from the flame to be able to conduct sufficient heat to keep the thermocouple open. This can happen when you park or drive and the rv is at different angles. So the flame does not heat the thermocouple enough and it shuts off the supply.
Norcold had my repair person replace the burner assembly and wiring harness - that fixed the problem - after lots of thermocouple and other replacements that did not work. Seems Nocold made a change and knew about the problem - just didn't tell anyone.
