The questions below are specifically based upon my experiences with our 2015 LM Key West but are likely applicable to almost any Heartland product.
I finally got off my butt and started looking at the in-roof ducting for the bedroom air conditioner which services both the bedroom and that bathroom. What I found prompts these questions.
1. The output vent nearest the closet runs about another 18 inches before terminating in the closet. There is no output vent in the closet. Is there any reason I couldn't or shouldn't put some Styrofoam to fill in that 18 inch space so that it forces the cooled air into the bedroom?
2. Looking through the bathroom's output duct toward the kitchen/living room (toward the rear of the trailer), the output duct is almost 90 percent blocked by a piece of wood. This piece of wood has nails protruding from the bottom. This piece of wood effectively blocks any air transfer between the forward AC and the two ACs that service the LR and kitchen.
a. Is this normal? Should this piece of wood be there?
b. Since this duct is almost totally blocked, is there any reason I couldn't or shouldn't place a piece of Styrofoam between the output duct and this piece of wood?
TIA for your comments.
