Thanks Stuart and Forest
I am taking the refrigerator in tomorrow and the man will take it out and clean out the burner box and stuff. Lets hope it works. I will bring a downloaded copy of the Norcold manual with me. Still open for any other ideas...

Having soot come out the exhaust means you have a *lot* of soot in the burner box and/or flue. Wolfie (97 EVC) had the same problem and, although the burner stayed lit on propane, the cooling was poor and LP usage high (even though fine on AC). I tried the vacuum thing and got some improvement, but then the guys @ GoWesty blew it out with an air hose. It has cooled fabulous since then (just as well as on AC), although it was very hard to start for a couple weeks after that.
If/when it soots up again, I'm going to try a professional chimney sweep because I think they will have the tools to do a good cleaning via the vents.
