We own a 2017 2600 RB, Imagine. The two heat ducts, one in living area directly under TV, by the floor, and the one in the bathroom, not blowing out air. Also, there's a little condensation around the bottom of the stool in the bathroom. Any ideas what could be wrong.

We have a 2018. Quick check for each end of ductwork. Duct may route behind the bottom cabinet drawers for the living room vent. I would take the vent covers off and see if the foil ducting is connected at the outlet, then check back behind the drawers back to the heater. Maybe just need reattachment. Same for the bath but that one probably routes through underbelly.
 
Thee is a good chance the ducting came apart under the floor. You may end up dropping part of the underbelly to see for sure if you can't get to it from inside. You can purchase relatively inexpensive 'snake cameras' to look from the inside behind the covers. Be careful not to poke holes thru the aluminum foil duct work if you use them.
 
As far as the condensation around the toilet, make sure it's really condensation and not a leak from your supply hose. If it is condensation, it may be caused by the cooler water temp being supplied this time of year, and the heated air from your furnace being diverted toward the stool, instead of out the duct.
 
Just bought an '18 2600rb for my daughter. I'm pretty sure the heating is the same as my '20 2800bh. The heating layout is totally inadequate. You can check the connections by removing the panel on the right side under the sink and removing the adjacent drawers to the left of the stove. The 4" duct runs behind the drawers and uder the stove to the duct below the TV. UNFORTUNATELY, the duct is then split into two 2 inch lines,one feeds the duct under the TV and the other 2" duct runs down under the camper to the bathroom. Even if the ductwork is correctly connected you're not going to get enough to heat in the sitting area or the bathroom. The problem is compounded by the bedroom being heated directly from the plenum through the bottom vent and another 4" vent exiting the left side of the sink directly towards the thermostat. Hence, super hot bedroom and super cold bathroom.
 
I’ve heard of ducts coming loose from the furnace connections. Here’s what my ducts look like on a 2150RB heater. I think it’s similar to the 2600RB.
