It's probably a bit of crud in the jet. The burner is sealed off from the living accommodation so CO is not likely to be a fatal fault provided the seals around the back of the fridge are intact and the flue and vents are unobstructed. Fresh air enters the back of the fridge through the bottom vent, runs up the back of the fridge, past the burner and out of the flue, taking any CO with it.
However, if the flue exits into the awning then a build up of CO in there could be a fatal problem, particularly if the awning is zipped up and the caravan door is open, but even with the caravan door closed, CO will build up in the awning. Eventually, this will get pulled back into the fridge vent where it can cause further combustion issues, allowing unburned gas to escape up the flue, eventually building up in the awning until some oxygen gets in when you nip outside for your last cigarette and ignite the gas build up. (This scenario would take a LONG time to happen though and would need your awning to be airtight!)
