The clicking sound you're hearing is the pilot light on your Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR trying to kick on. If it's unable to kick on it should give you a specific error code to narrow down the cause. Most likely it's not receiving enough gas pressure to properly operate.

You'll want to ensure that your propane tank(s) are full and that the knob(s) are fully open to allow for proper flow. If you have any shut off valves in the line (typically a quarter turn valve) you'll want to ensure those are open as well. If you've done this and still can't get it to turn on then you may have a regulator issue.

The unit needs a 11" WC to properly operate, which your RV propane regulator should be set to. You will need to have a professional with the proper tools check the pressure rating of your regulator and make adjustments as necessary or replace the regulator altogether if it's beyond adjustment.

If the propane supply and the regulator aren't the issue then there's an internal component error with your unit and you'll need to contact Furrion for warranty repair/replacement.
