Furnace - Bedroom HOT (but not for the right reasons!) ;-)

**IndianaFrog** · 05-01-2019, 08:15 AM

Fired up my furnace on a 2019 295RL. Fired up just fine, fan kicked on, but wasn't really pleased with the airflow coming from the vent in the living area. Went to check the vent in the bedroom and it was moving a LOT of air and was already TOO hot. temp in the bedroom was about 83 and the living was still in the 60's.

Does anyone have similar experiences and resolutions?

Thanks,

Not specifically that problem, but installation of furnace ductwork in our 2018 Reflection was bad beyond belief. After only a few nights of use we had ducts fall off / come apart in the basement and in exploring that we found serious kinks and bends in some of the ducts. A look in the basement utility area might reveal obvious problems.

There is obviously an issue with the heated air distribution somewhere. The furnace was sized to distribute a certain amount of heat (BTUs) whenever it turns on, based on the number of sq ft of the trailer, the heat loss, and the number of outlet vents it's going to. With an issue of not distributing that heat properly, the bedroom has a hot spot because most of the heat produced is going there instead of to all the vents....for whatever reason. It could be any one or more of the following problems....duct(s) blocked/smashed, duct line off of the outlet, holes or leakage out of the ductwork, not installed with enough outlets, etc. You definitely need to get to the bottom of this and get it resolved, whether by you or someone else.

Had the same problem.
Replaced the always open floor grate with a louvered metal one.
Closed the louvers half way and the problem was solved.
Grate is 2 x 10 inch in my rig,.... a $10 fix.
