Yeah, the stove works fine. My uncle is the one that bought the motor home and said that when he got it the flame would not stay lit, so he unscrewed the orifice and cleaned behind it and screwed it back in, which fixed that problem and I asked him if he might have stuck anything in the orifice, which he could not remember. I'm wondering if the orifice might have gotten screwed up and maybe too much gas is going through it? Seems like an overload of gas output could cause the air/fuel mix issues and the inability to adjust the flame, am I right or no? Think I should go ahead and try to find a new orifice?
It will not hurt but sans the make and model of HW heater it is impossible to know if you can get the part.
If you cannot get the part you might try calling an RV salvage yard to see if they have a replacement water heater the exact same maodel
