We're new to 5th wheels, always had a motorhome. We have a 30 ft. Alpine with 2 zones. Our problem is that in cold weather, if we turn the heat on in zone 1 (living area), the zone 2 (bedroom) is then disabled for anything but cool, fan or off. So we set the heat at night to 65 in zone 1 and it keeps that heat at 65. Meanwhile, the heat rises to the bedroom, and in addition, there is a small amount of heat coming from the overhead vents in the bedroom. The result is that the bedroom gets pretty unbearable! I've tried turning the temp. down in zone 1, but all that does is make the heater blow longer when it blows, the bedroom doesn't cool down as fast, so it just gets hotter and hotter. Any ideas?

In order to keep a balance, we allow the AC to run in the bedroom. It'll cycle on and off a few times per night. It's not the most efficient way to maintain temps, but it works and keeps both ends at a constant/comfortable temp. If we were paying for the electricity, I might look for a better solution.

We are having the same issue and plan to replace the ceiling vents with the ones that are adjustable. Hopefully we can then turn the vents off in the bedroom to equalize the temperature.
