On a home furnace, I'd suspect a cracked heat exchanger. Not totally sure the same logic applies to an RV, but I suspect it does.

Here are two (or 3) more. which you might find interesting.
Parked in Quartsite in 2006 the furnace side of my RV was "Into the wind" it got cold at night.. I very strongly suspect the "Breeze" (you really do NOT want to know the MPH) was blowing the exhaust back into the house.
Also the neighbor's generator
next year I parked on the other side of the group so the wind blew it AWAY from me.
Also my own generator operated WITHOUT a Gen-Turi, will fire off the CO alarm in just about 2 hours.. WITH the Gen-turi.. I've done a couple 25 hour tests.
So the solution may be as simple as turning the RV 180 Degrees so the wind hits the other side.
One more thing.. I have not seen this but I am not an RV service technician.. I just work on my own and occasionally help a friend.
The compartment is not all that well sealed.. IF there is an alignment issue with the exhaust and a cover.. Might be a factor..
