Many RV cooktops have a secondary regulator.
It sure sounds like the tubes between the orifices and the burners are clogged, or the burners themselves. Since there's gas coming out of the orifice, and not the burner, that's about all that it can realistically be.
The open slots are intentional, and are designed to mix the propane and the air. A Bunsen burner in the chemistry lab has pretty much an identical setup, albeit vertically, as indeed do most gas appliances. Often there's some way to adjust the size of the air holes to get the proper air/gas mixture if needed.
