Heat in bedroom

[taylorshadow6]

I bought a 2011 raptor 30fs and the first time we took it out ther was nothing coming out of the floor vent in the bedroom. I took it to the dealer and they said they fixed it.
When we took it out the next time we turned on the heater and verry little air was coming out and it was cool. I called the dealer and he said that they did a paper test on it and it was working fine when i asked him about the paper test he stated they put paper over the vent and if the paper moves its working ok. We are going hunting in 2 weeks and its going to get down in the 20s. has anyone else have or had this problem.

Other members with similar and different units have had the same problem --- little or no heat getting to the upper bedroom area.
Some steps that have been taken to rectify this issue are:
1) ensuring that your ductwork leading from the furnace to the bedroom is clear. All sorts of things have been found in the ducts -- workmen's tools, lunches, Coke cans, etc., You can use a vacuum with the Blow feature or Suction.
2) check for kinks and right-angled bends in the ductwork. Some have rerouted the ductwork to avoid too many 90 degree elbows,
3) some have replaced the aluminum dryer-type duct with rigid ducting.
4) ensure that any joints are taped properly. Use aluminum-type tape to go over any loose-fitting or open joins.
5) make sure the outlet vents at your furnace are open where they should be and closed where they should be. Some have found that all the furnace outlets were open and hot air was blowing into an empty space in and around the furnace.
6) replace your existing floor vents in the living/dining area with ones that have adjustable louvres - that can be closed, if necessary, to direct air "further on down the line" into the bedroom area.

Hope this helps somewhat.

X2- I had a similar problem with my brand new Outback fiver. Didn't even waste my time with the dealer knowing they would likely plead ignorant and say flow is normal. I took all of the steps as stated above. I also installed adjustable floor vents for the rear vents. This also helps direct more airflow forward. The flow to the front now isn't great but is bearable. Basically, I think it is a poor design (to much distance for the heat/air to flow. Steve.
