    260rd heat flow

    question, are the two floor registers, one the bathroom and the other in the bedroom suppose to provide heat flow? the bathroom has no air flow and the bedroom only has a minute amount when the heater is running?

    You'll need to get in the basement, remove the back wall, which is a piece of thin Luan, that is screwed to a 2" x 2" frame. Find the heater and the duct that is between two of the aluminum joists, you will probably find a 6" hole in the duct and a flex duct with a plate with tape around it that is attached to the flex duct that isn't connected to anything. That plate goes over the hole in the duct in the ceiling of the basement. Use new aluminum tape and a few sheet metal screws, and you should be good.

    Several of us have had that issue and fixed it ourselves.

    The bathroom heat vent should be the round vent in the base of the storage wardrobe. The floor vent is just an air sharing vent with the pass through.

    Bedroom will have minimal air flow, as heat rises, and you will get plenty warm up there with the door open.

    Thanks, @huntr70, I forgot the the air intake for the heater is in the floor of the bathroom, usually behind the toilet.

    We put a vent cover over the bedroom vent. The hot air will melt the material on the bottom of the barn door if it's left open. That was the only useful peice of information the dealer gave us during the walkthrough. The bedroom gets enough heat from the rest of the trailer, so blocking the vent isn't an issue for us.
