The other 2 vents longer runs with twists and turns. One exits under the kitchen cabinets and the other between the theater seats. These vents put out very little air compared to the two blowtorches venting straight into the tiny bedroom.

I had considered just blocking off one of the bedroom vents, but I’m worried that might put too much strain on the system (perhaps this is unfounded - I’m new to this) but I really don’t have any desire to burn down my RV

So after pulling the grate off in the pic below, the only thing behind it is the duct work for the 4 vents.

See my notes on the pic attached. Could I not just take me of the bedroom vents and reroute it out the grate hiding the ductwork? This would pull half the air out of the bedroom, and aim it into the main coach and at the bathroom.

Any safety issue with this I could be missing, aside from the normal hazards of the job?

This is so bizarre!! I just built a box out of a wine crate yesterday. I'd send a pic but not sure how to download it. It is 16" long by 7" by 7". Imagine it with three sides and both ends as well. Put the open side against the vent. It will go several inches past the fridge cabinet and direct heat towards the front. I cut a hole with a hole saw at the front side so a little heat will come toward the headboard. Don't know if I'll drill a hole to point towards the back of the bedroom cause my wife gets too hot and frankly, so do I when the furnace is on. We started with a small cardboard box but it got mangled up so I made one out of wood and can't wait to test it out!! Good luck with your design; Bob Trice
