Heat airflow issue

We have a outback 324cg and recently been doing some cold weather camping. We found out the bedroom heat vent blows no air. Took into camping world to be fixed under warranty, which took 3 weeks to get approval from keystone to remove the bellypan. Today I get a call saying there is no issue with flow because when turn on it lifted a sheet of paper. Insert instant firery rage. When on you can't feel air flow with bare hand. With door closed the bedroom temp will drastically drop while the rest of camper and cargo garage stay warm. It lifted a sheet of paper so there is no issue with flow its the way it's designed was the answer I got. Anyone else with this issue and what is a solution as I don't want to my wife and daughter to freeze?

Hi John,
The first thing I would look into is a 12v inline vent fan wired into the stat. Don't ask me how to do that, but I would eventually figure it out.
Attwood Corporation 1731-4 Turbo 3000 Series in-Line Bilge Blower
Or, you could divert existing fan flow by throttling the other vents with aluminum tape, especially the underbelly if you are not into winter camping.
I personally don't have issue with mine.
Good luck

Our furnace is located towards the rear of our Cougar. We are having the same issue, noticing the main floor was very comfortable but the forward areas, (bathroom and bedroom) were much cooler. The airflow to these registers is noticeably less than the ones closer to the furnace. I've checked all the duct connections from the plenum to the registers and everything seems to be properly sealed with no apparent obstructions.
Like OP, I'd also like to get more air/heat to the forward areas.
