Just purchased a 2013 Spree 301 RBS. Not happy at all with the heat coming from two vents. Our dealer came out, took some lengths off the duct work, did some work at the furnace end. I now have okay heat in the bedroom but the vent on the other side of the entertainment wall still has only a whisper of air flow. Both these vents are a fair distance from the furnace. I'm wondering now if this is a design flaw. Anyone have any experience with poor heat coming out of vents 10+ feet from the furnace? Otherwise, I love our new trailer. Thanks,  Attachments:

No, I have a 261 RKS. A little different model than yours, but my heat output will run you out of the trailer unless you turn it down. I would trace the duct work and make sure nothing came unhooked or kinked. These heaters use a squirrel cage fan which puts out a lot of air.

We also have the 261RKS, great heating. Once we found the comfortable setting it is a nice even heat...so much better than others we have owned. Kept us nice and warm with 20 degree nights last month.

I am so upset with this new 301RBS. The large slide out has a major leak somewhere. We found out this weekend after all the rain. The carpet is soaked, the plywood underneath is soaked. I had fans on it and the furnace on high for 24 hrs. Didn't even begin to dry the wood. Then we started to de-winterize on Sunday, the pump leaked water everywhere under the bed. I am so frustrated. I wish I kept my RKS. The furnace issue is still outstanding too. The trailer is at the dealers now and I wish they could just keep it. My 261 RKS was awesome, only a couple little issues, nothing major.  |

Oh, since my first post, the dealer got heat flowing pretty decent from the bedroom vent, but not the one near the entertainment center, so I know it's not a design flaw as the bedroom vent is the furthest from the furnace and it works fine now.
