Partial no heat in 380FL-R
Hi All, just turned on the heat for the first time in our new 380FL-R. Great heat in kitchen and living room. Zero air flow in bedroom and bathroom. Can anyone suggest help?

Unlike the A/C, just one furnace for the entire rig. Airflow up front and none in back makes me thing a clogged or detached duct somewhere.

The heater dumps into a common box and takes the path of least resistance out the vents. I put some tape over one of the front vents and that helped force some more air out the back. It seems our rear heat pump puts out enough warm air to keep the bedroom and bathroom cozy.

Thanks for the responses. First, there is NO air flow in the locations I mentioned not the slightest hint of a breath of air. Also, my rig has no rear heat pump, unfortunately. And we camp a lot in cold weather. Maybe i'll install a heat strip in the bedroom unit. I had already planned to use my space heater in the bathroom. But we always like a nice blast of heat when we wake up and it's 50 degrees inside. I'll let you know what the dealer says sometime after 11/12 when I take it in for service.

Jack and Kelly,
How do you pull the 380 with a 250?

Sometimes the flex hose pulls loose and dumps hot air into the basement. You'll want to pull the wall in the basement and see if that's the case for you. I have a different model, however my bath and front bedroom gets heat and so should yours.
That said, we are always hooked up to electricity. We seldom use the furnace--heating with three small ceramic electric heaters.

This has not yet been resolved. The 380 is at the dealer and we have been away visiting for thanksgiving. I haven’t followed up. The big unit is winterized and I told my dealer “no rush” on the 3 warranty issues (heat, light in nautilus bay, levelers confused).
