Hey Errol... it has been a while.

The usual problem is the thermocouple, but the solenoid in the valve could fail, too. My home furnace pilot wouldn't stay lit, and it turned out to be dust in the gas tube to the pilot burner, not the thermocouple or valve at all.

My guess is that the thermocouple at least is a common item, so any RV shop is likely. I find the people in parts at Woody's and Carefree good, but for sheer range of repair items Edmonton RV (on 63 Ave) might be better. I don't know if any of them have a clue about Bolers, but given the old part they should be able to find a replacement.
There are also at least three mobile RV service businesses in the area, who will come to your home to fix your trailer, and bring the parts.

Now that's weird, since there should be no connection between the inside and the burner area. I wonder if there's a crack in the cabinet and some undesirable airflow occurring?
