Heating system design flaw
We have a 2014 Thor Challenger 37 GT. The second night in it the weather was cool, since I was having trouble sleeping I thought it was a good time to test the furnace. I went into the front room closed the door to the bathroom and turned on the furnace. Hour and a half later with the furnace running the full time and I was still cold I opened the door to the bath and bedroom it must have been 100 deg. in that end. The furnace is located in the bathroom with short ducting to bed and bath. My correction was to remove the vent in the bed room cover the end with aluminum foil reinstalled do the same in the bath but cut a slit in the foil this forces the air into the duct to the front room. The system now has better balance the bedroom, with leaving the door open to the bath is cool but not cold, bathroom is fine and front room is also fine. Note: after blocking the vent the first flow of air into the front room shot construction material, sawdust, wood chips, insulation, etc, everywhere what a mess.
