I have 2019 343 with the outdoor kitchen, first time using the burner and it would not get oil hot enough to deep fry anything.
Flame was good and blue, just not hot enough.
Anything I should check or is burner just that low of btu output?

It think that there just isn't enough pressure. No comparison to our regular camp stove connected to a propane bottle, much more pressure.

Cold outside temperatures will reduce gas pressure, also. If the liquid propane canister can not transfer enough heat to the liquid, it can not evaporate fast enough to maintain the pressure.

Not the smartest thing, but I opened up the hole on the orifice and it output large flames. Just orange tips. Needs air now. Just an experiment, think the hole was too big that I drilled |

RVs are required to have a two-stage regulator. The first stage drops the vapor pressure to approximately 10 to 15 psi, and the second stage further reduces operating pressure to about 11inches of water column ie .4 psi.
The traditional 2-burner Coleman camp stoves, for example, come with a pipe that connects from the camp stove to the propane tank. This Coleman regulator takes the pressure to 15-20 PSI.
As you can see this explains why boiling water on our RV outdoor kitchen took so much longer than on our old camp stove.

It's worthless if I can't fry up some things outside, don't like frying inside. |

I don’t think you can get enough BTU’s from your RV outdoor kitchen
stove to get a fryer hot enough. So for that i would say it’s worthless.
Maybe you can get an extra 20lb bottle and connect it to a stand alone stove just for frying food.

I have the opposite problem. Can't get the burner low enough. I have it turned so low I have trouble with it being blown out sometimes.

Another thought. Have you used compressed air and blown out the gas line from the tank to the stove? Some times condensate will collect in it and reduce gas flow,
