On my Ventana 3634, 2014 their is a floor register just behind the passenger seat. From day one nothing ever came out of it.
Is there something to do to opened it up?

Thanks for your help

The placement would appear to be the same as my Dutch Star.
The main duct work for the furnace , is straight from the back to front of the coach.
I had to clean the duct work on my coach ; due to previous owners pet's hair .
To accomplish this I fed a tape from a 1" wide tape measure , from the front to the back , attached a 1/4" dia. 50' rope and pulled it forward then looped it to the back above the floor , tied on a hand towel and pulled it through a dozen times , vacuuming the debris out at the front vent.
Drop a flash light into the back vent , then look down the duct , with a mirror in the front vent , if no light comes through , the duct may be blocked by construction debris and you may have to find another solution .
Fiberglass chimney cleaning rods may flex enough to be fed into the duct to push the debris around to where it can be removed.

Furnace registers are normally never closed in an RV furnace system. Restriction of air flow can cause the furnace to shut down. I'd check that all ducts are connected at the furnace. Also you might poke a camera into the floor opening and see if it shows blockage, disconnection, or some other issue.

Ok I admit and shame on me, I should have think of that before

After playing with with a few objects in the register since this morning and reading your kind advises, I decided to try it again on furnace mode with the fan mode set to high instead of auto this time. Zone 1 nothing. Zone 2 the miracle came. Since day one I thought that zone 2 was for the room section and zone 1 for the kitchen. It seem that zone 2 is more a central heating Zone.

So their is the plain truth......everything is working just fine. The problem was owner related.

Thanks for your time to help me out.

Normally a Newmar zone 2 would be for the rear AC and have a sensor on wall in bedroom that controlled the temperature.
The kitchen and living area up front would have a sensor in the control unit for the two zones.
The gas furnace system feeds into a floor duct that extends from front to rear of coach with feeds off duct to outlets in a bathroom front and rear if coach was a bath 1/2 floor plan.
All the links below in my signature have information for your Newmar coach.
Enjoy the forum and safe travels.
