This definitely applies to ACE coaches and I assume it may be all the Thors.

Today I decided I was going to line the inside of the front cap with reflectix and stuff it full of insulation. Its 80 outside and the rv is in my building so I decided to turn the AC on for comfort. While working up in the cap area I though, Man those ac vents really push some air up here, then I though "WAIT A MINUTE" I pulled the round vent closest to the drivers seat down and found out that they did not block the tunneling for the ac at the end of that vent, a HUGE amount of the ac was actually blowing up into the cap area!
I blocked it with some foam board and tape, the single AC now has the inside down to 67*, granted it is not sitting in the sun but this has to be a major help, it definitely helped the flow from the vents. The vent in the bedroom is also not blocked but it seems to dead end against a board. I am still going to block it just past the vent.

So in the pictures, I took one looking down the vent towards the front of the cap with just the flash, then I tried it using a flashlite shinning towards the front and then to confirm my find I put the flashlite up between the ceiling and the roof and took a picture looking forward down the tunnel and you can see the flashlite. The last picture at least I think it will be the last is looking towards the rear of the coach from the furthest rear vent. About 20" from the rear wall.

DANGIT! Of course it rotated all my pictures 90*
