I HAVE A COLEMAN FURNACE (PROPANE) IN A MANUFACTURED
HOME. PILOT WILL NOT STAY LITE. EASILY LIGHTED WITH STRONG
FLAME. BUT GOES OUT WHEN WHEN PRESSURE IS RELEASED, TO
MOVE TO ON POSITION. WHAT UP

Once the pilot is lit, hold the button down for a couple minutes, then slowly release. If the pilot still goes out, then you probably need a new thermocouple (or the thermocouple your using now has been bumped and not in the flame of the pilot).

A new thermocouple is available here: http://www.mobilehomerepair.com/ColemanGas.html
