Well, after the "propane detector" (not Carbon Monoxide) has gone off 2x when turning on the H20 heater, everything is working fine now.

I conclude: It is possible for a 15MPH wind pointed exactly in the correct position to prevent the pilot of the H20 heater to light, AND blow unburned gas into the trailer, thus setting off the propane detector.

After going home and trying it in my driveway, the water heater works fine -- there was no wind near my home.

Thanks for all your comments. I really appreciate everyone on this website. I don't write much, but I read comments just about every night, and it's kind of an obsession to want to hear things from my kindred brothern. I feel like I know a lot of you guys really well.
