Just a minor difference, but I believe that is the cold air return. Not that the fan won't use that air, but just to put it in "furnace terms" in case that helps anyone. On my '99 club chair layout it's a metal grille on the forward edge of the seat base, so sounds like the same location.

I had the same issue, fan cycle, ignition, burner lighting, then going out after 3 seconds to as long as a couple minutes.
Trouble shooting guide states first check board and second gas valve. In my case it's the LP tank regulator.With all my research and reading online about RV life, somehow I missed the RV regulator maintenance item.
Two things come to mind:
1. Change your tank regulator every few years as the rubber diaphram does go bad and they only cost $30. Many carry a spare.
2. When you have a gas appliance issue, you can make sure you have adequate lp flow by lighting all the stove burners and seeing if they will run on high for a period of time.
Now, back to trying to remove the stuck nut holding my reguator to the tank valve.
You can also check the system with a manometer (obviously your method is a good one too because you don't need a tool).
A note for buying a spare regulator: They come with the relief port oriented either horizontally or vertically (it's kind of like a little horn). Ours are horizontal since the regulator is installed lying on its side.
I know, I know, who carries one? I have to laugh because I have this friend who is a sucker for every new tool. But then he often "hands down" the old one to me. Hence, I have a manometer (and he has a better manometer ).
