Refer won't stay lit

[Sinclue]

On my first trip of the spring my refer pilot light kept going out. It might have been wind related, but I couldn't pin that down. Went out several times. I checked the outside and there was no blockage or obvious problems. Any ideas as to what else I should check? It hasn't been a problem before in four years of usage.

I'm no LP expert and am not real familiar with the TM refer details, but the first two things that come to mind is giving the pilot orifice a light cleaning with a brush and making sure it is not blocked. After that replacing the device that says there is pilot light heat and it is OK to keep the pilot gas going -- I think it is called a thermo-coupler and they are usually inexpensive (at least for most household appliances). I've replaced this once or twice on some gas appliances at home.

Additional thought, if the Refer is very unlevel, the heat from the pilot may not be enough to keep heat sensor that supplies the pilot gas (thermo-coupler?) turned on.
