This is probably wrong, at least in my tin top camper.  Just now, it being around freezing in the pre-dawn desert SW, I brewed coffee and left both westie stove burners on high for some heat as I watched the sunrise ....  I saw my burner's flame diminish and get thready.  Thought I was out of propane... But I discovered that a kitchen match, the "strike and light anywhere" kind, that would not light!  No O2 or too much  co2....whatever, pretty scary.  I ran back the slider and let some air in, things burn normal again.
