I have a old travel trailer with a lp furnace. the pilot light gos out when the main burner try to start? - lightest travel trailer
Most mobile home furnaces and stoves are mobile homes sealed combustion chambers. This means that the flame of the burner the oxygen in the air outside, drawing not from inside the trailer. If the exhaust or air supply is restricted or detained, you get what I call the "candle in a glass" effect. The candle in the glass cover, if the oxygen is gone, the flame is extinguished.
If and when the air supply is blocked, there is no oxygen, so that clogged the exhaust, is filled with CO2 displaces oxygen.
Check these first two.
Another possibility would be to supply the gas. Make sure there is no restriction on the flow of gas. When a small amount of it in so that the pilot lite, but when I switch the main burner may not operate adequately flow.
With gas, the hard-line for the gas valve. Connecting to a union and a gas pipeline or other piece of hose, so you run it and to the outside. Having someone to the gas off and see if you get a constant stream. You should hear. Note if it is started, then very rEduc. If you do, you have a restriction somewhere.
Good luck.

First check that the stove receive more air often comes from the base. Sounds like when the furnace starts with sucking the air that all drivers, and I am sure that the fireplace is not maintained or run.
