White or black smoke?

If white, maybe the lift pump; mine was dead, but didn't notice it, and on my DP motorhome, the distance to the tank from the IP as around 22 running feet.

Another thing to check is your air filter if the smoke is black.grey..

Sounds like the LP. Pull the output line and have someone hit the key. If it works better with more fuel in the tank, or starts easier with the nose on the low end of a slope, it is a good sign the lift pump is not doing the job.
