There's a reason that a comparably sized Hideout is $7500 less than a similar floorplan in the Cougar line and there's a reason the Cougar is $10-15 thousand less than a Montana with a similar floorplan. You'd think the "basic components" like heat/cooling wouldn't be affected, but that's not the way the designers/engineers look at things.

You should be able to cut a hole in the ceiling and install an A/C vent without too much difficulty. Just be sure you're in the area where the ducting run is located. Installing a floor duct (or a round duct in the vanity) for heat isn't that much more difficult. Just pull down the DARCO wrap under the floor, install a "Tee" in the aluminum ducting located near the bathroom and route the new ducting into the area. You'll lose some "air velocity" to the vents further down the line, but the total BTU's delivered into the cabin should remain essentially the same.
