Brian,
I have Suburban heaters so cannot be much help with the circuit and my manuals are aboard the coach.
My owner's manual has a trouble shooting guide at the rear of the manual. It describes this potential problem and how to identify the problem. The first thing that I would do is identify the voltage (mine are 12 Volts DC), then you could use a volt meter to check the voltage at the gas valve. If the voltage does drop then the valve should be the culprit. My manual also describes cleaning the gas valve, I believe it was to blow it out with air to ensure that the orifices were clean.
I was able to find parts on ebay after getting the current part numbers.
