I have found that a cold engine will start and run- even if the carb is running really rich, but will stall once warm. The stuck float or leaking float that allows in to much fuel can cause it to run really rich.
Replacing the carb is 'throwing parts at it' but if the choice is to spend $300 on the RV repair shop, or throw a part at it, you might as well make that decision. The RV place might say it needed a new carb, charge you $300 for the $200 part, and then $150 more to 'diagnose' the problem!
Good luck,
Fred.
