Space heater help needed

We elk camp above 9k in the Rockies in a converted horse trailer hunting rig.

For heat we have a 16,000btu space heater with a oxygen depletion sensor pilot assembly that will not stay lit.

Problem is the pilot assembly is not designed to work above 4,500'. Anyone know how to modify it to not shut off at altitude?

I worked for 25 years in the gas biz, we sold appliances and I'm comfortable doing lots of gas work, was just never a appliance specialist. I've opened the air shutter all the way and restricted the pilot orifice, still has the occasional flair out.

And yes I'm aware of all the potential issues tampering can cause.

Thanks, RR
