Furnace vs flooring

When furnace blows air the kitchen floor in raises, obviously suggesting the air is flowing in this area? It’s 3 weeks off the new lot, and I need to know if it needs repaired before more winter weather...

Welcome to the forum!!

If there is a floor register, then most likely the linoleum wasn’t secured and duct work isnt sealed. Easy fix is to remove the plate, seal the edges and put the plate back on. I would use aluminum tape and stick it UNDER the limo.

I guess you're talking about vinyl flooring? In a RV that is not glued to the floor as in a stick built home. You could take the vent cover off and look. I would phone the dealers service dept. and ask what they say to do before you try glueing, screwing, nailing, stampleing the vinyl down. If it is easy to take it back for repair, make a list of all you want looked at while its there.

Our 2019 MHC did that too. In the living room. As suggested, some furnace tape to seal the edges of the vent will keep air from blowing under the vinyl floor. Easy fix if you want to avoid the dealer?

Wouldn't that still allow air under the linoleum?

If the duct is sealed and the plate is secured, I don’t think so. The plate should hold the lino against the floor.
