Posted this in the Spree section but thought I would reach out here too. Hope that's not an issue....
Bought this RV and we really love it. This being the first winter we cranked up the heater and the Bedroom vent was blowing good. The Living Room, Kitchen and Bath were not. Troubleshooting came up with torn duct to the Living room vent. Replace the duct but LOW flow still the same.
Now here's where this turns into a head scratcher. I have all ducting INSIDE good to go as far as connected AND I have one 6 foot duct from the heater that leads under the floor that is I assume use to heat the Water Tank and lines. It is the same 4" ducting but is wide open. No reducer.
My question is, shouldn't there be a reducer/vent of some type attached to this 4" duct? Seem to me this is where all my flow is going but wanted to reach out to this forum.
Thanks

Doesn't sound right to me. My Spree has two 2" flexible ducts to heat the belly and 4" ducts for heating the inside. Some trailers have a 4" duct that goes down and then back up to the outlet to keep the floor flat. It would be worthwhile to drop the belly cover and see what is going on, there is a good chance that you can improve a lot of things that were just haphazardly tossed in there. If you camp at temperatures that are above freezing, any furnace hot air blown into the belly is simply waste, consider a method of shutting off or redirecting the duct(s) when not needed.

Ordered a 4" steel duct cap. Going to drill a few holes in it and attach to duct to heat the belly and I am thinking this will improve the air flow inside. I'll look around they belly. Prolly something got knocked off during a trip. I asked the previous owner and he stated that the flow was always good. Something happen. I hate getting under this thing. Having to cut areas of the belly panel to gain access. But never fear. "FLEX TAPE" is great to reseal. That stuff in amazingly sticky.

You should be able to pull down large sections of the Coroplast without cutting. Of course I can't see it from here, but I did almost no cutting to access most of the belly. With all the problems that I have had, I'm sure that I spent more quality time under the trailer than sleeping in the bed. I have a barn with a concrete floor and that makes it easy, if you need to work outside on a rough surface, well that's another story.
