I wonder if they got in there and partially covered the gas orifice? Never had an issue with them before and I've had them all over my camper every fall. I can smell them burning in the exhaust of the furnace though. I'll be putting covers on it but that still doesn't answer if they're the cause of this latest issue or if it's the regulator.
