A/C coming out everywhere
Just purchased a used 2020 Grand Design Reflection 240RL. One of the puck lights were flickering, so I went about replacing it. Strangely when I pulled the light down, quite a lot of cold A/C air came shooting out. To check, I took down a couple more and even a speaker, guess what, all of them have cold air coming out. Correct me is I am wrong but shouldn't the A/C be a closed system? Also I noticed that the insulation didn't fill in the space and could see the wood above the ceiling, I thought this was supposed to be R40. Just would like to know what other think. Thanks.

A/C coming out everywhere
Hi MacGumbo,
Welcome to the site. So sorry for your troubles. You are correct, It should be a closed system. Sounds like you have a major breach in the ducting. All it is is really thin foam, and they are really not gentle with it, so it is easy to break or get a tear. Sounds like that is what you are dealing with.
One way to maybe identify where it is off to remove the registers and stick a camera inside the ducting to see what it looks like.
Let us know and there may be ways to fix it.

Agree completely with @Redapple63. Pull the center of the vents out and inspect. I found that there were some significant gaps/tears in the foam ductwork around the vents in our Momentum. Some foil tape solved those issues. I pulled and used the foil tape to seal all of them. Hopefully it's not more than that.

I need to check mine. Does the "grill" part of the vent just pull out? Not something you want to break.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have a cabled pinhole camera I will snake down the ducts and hopefully the breach won't be anywhere I can't get to without major demolition.
I'll keep you posted.
