Our gas water heater which we have to light manually will not stay alight, the pilot lights okay and it also burns for a while but then it turns off including the pilot, should"nt the pilot stay alight even if the burner shuts off?

I agree with Tresvolte. I had one do the same thing on a previous trailer. Took about 10 minutes to replace, but the thermocoupler will probably be around $30.
