Here is the gas charge system.
As soon as you turn off the gas, needle drops out of the green within seconds.

Gauge is not indicative of a "propane Charge", just indicates whether the burner is lit or not.

If that is true then I guess maybe it is a problem of the flame going out..but it has auto ignition, wouldn’t it re-light?
When the needle drops you hear a constant clicking that only stops one you hold the button in again, isn’t that clicking the auto start trying to fire up, but not getting any gas?
The clicking noise sounds like an electrical spark.

What model and year camper? You could have a auto relight system installed as to the sound you are hearing.

Pretty sure it is trying to right, but not getting gas. Will pop the exterior cover and have a look, see if I can get to the flame nozzle and try to find something on YouTube on how to clean it.

Can of compressed air works fine. Cleaning a burner is very simple to do and a dirty burner is a common problem. the auto ignition times out if the burner does not light or the flame is too weak. You can see the spark from the ignitor. It is also simple enough to remove the orifice and soak it in alcohol to clean it.
