RVs that cost as much as an entire working class neighborhood are not expected to stray more than 1,000 meters from a 36-hole golf course.
If the flame (you need to go eyeball to burner on this) tries to light but the base of the flame lifts off the burner then goes out repeatedly, then there is too much air
If the flame tip contains more than a smattering of yellow specks in blue flame then the burn is too rich. I've seen burners that emitted a yellow cone, with backfiring, popping out of the burner.
Very few residences and very few business at that altitude have piped natural gas. They rely on LPG. The bulk trucks belong to a distributor. The distributor hires knowledgeable LPG mechanics who work with heaters, boilers, hot water heaters, LPG motor fuel carburation and everything else. It is they the mechanic that can swiftly diagnose a problem and then call a judgement as to going about the best way to fix the problem. These guys are professionals. If they need a smaller orifice they won't snivel and say. Sorry No got smaller orifices. They will pien around the hole with a micro drift then use a pocket reamer to arrive at the correct size. At the same time, you learn how to change this pill for lower altitude operation. Get another pill or two just in case. Everyone tries to outguess professionals, and they lose 100 to 0
