Dustin- you hit the biggest issue with RV propane furnace maintenance. Highly restricted access is very common, and it can (often is) be quite time consuming to remove the furnace for simple work, reinstall it and verify there are no propane leaks.
I routinely vacuum or blow out what I can and pray that will be enough. I had to replace the control board on one compact unit. It took me less than 10 minutes to do that, but likely 3 hours between start and finish. In my opinion the typical RV propane furnace is a poor engineering design.
