They sell screens for the intake/exhaust ports.
Mine doesn't have a pilot flame, not in the stove/oven, water heater, nor furnace.
Mud daubers might not exist in an area that has very little surface water, with sand which is there, hence no long lived mud. Wet sand comes and goes in a short time, same as snowflakes.
Like I said, I was only thinking of the furnace in case of a rare emergency. I have a gasoline generator that does work and quiet electric heaters.
I'm not planning on spending money or much effort troubleshooting a propane furnace, where the RV's tank is a measly 12 gallons. Which is fine for a year of heating water for dishes and quick showers. No room for an extend-a-stay between the valve and the regulator to use larger portable cylinders to feed a hungry furnace.
It could also be a flaky ground. I had one recently with the water pump when I switched it from the smaller house bank to the much larger refrigerator bank. Worked fine until it didn't. Turned out the ground that I had attached to, had small gauge wires on one section. Replaced with appropriate gauge and no issues since. Ground issues can be very spooky and ephemeral. Testing showed correct voltage.
