Water heater smoke

We have a 2018 2108DS trailer. When using the water heater on lp gas I am getting quite a bit of black smoke. Have checked the air volume and the orifice on the burner, everything looks fine but there is a relatively weak flame and black smoke. Any suggestions?

If the vents are open and not bug proofed, I first look for them in the burner tube as an easy one.
Of course it may be some other problem with air or gas flow but there is one that is really common in my area and that is spider webs, wasp nests or mud daubers, so I jump to that as a first bet that is also easy to run a flexible copper wire in and fish for what I might find!
