Temperature from one end to other?

I have a 8 degree differance from one end of camper to the other. The register in the bathroom only has a 2 inch duct and it is supposed to be a 4 inch.But dealer says there is no room to change it to a 4. Called Keystone and They won't do anything to fix problem, The Gal I talked to says there
has to be more than a 10 degree differance to be unacceptable.Not very happy I didn't think you would have to run heater and stay in it to see If you want to buy the darn thing. KEYSTONE really sucks you know what.They told me that it isn't a house and can't expect it to heat even. Well my 2004 timberlodge I traded heated wonderful.

We found no 2 trailers are alike, I have looked at different pictures of our model 260fl and the ducts are located in different spots, in different directions. the thermostat is located on various walls etc. Do they even follow a blue print? We have a heat duct RIGHT under the thermstat and causes short cycling. No air flow in the furthest way duct. The duct (boot) was put in vertical between 2 joists thus smashing the duct work leading to it not allowing air flow. Thus high air flow thru duct UNDER the thermostat. Dealer did cut a new hole in the boot and re routed the flexable tube so it is not swished. How ever did nothing about the switch over the other duct. they said changing the air flow will help the recycling. We will see when we take it out camping again. We are undr warrenty till July.

Problem fixed

Boy the tech at bretz rv really doesn't know what hes doing. I took down the underbelly and found a duct that would fit in space and retain volume of air. I used a 2inch by 6inch periscope duct for dryers with 4inch round going 90deg. off each end. I fit it inspace under gray tank converted the duct to 4 inch from 2inch, now I have the heat that the camper was designed for. Tested it last night and with 41deg. outside the kitchen living areaset to 70 deg. with door shut the bath/bedroom came up to 68deg. PERFECT.
The tech at bretz rv couldn't figure out how to fix It took me 48.00 plus 6 hrs work, not really that difficult.I've been emailing the vice president of manufacturing at Keystone with no answer. Guess they don't care that they are loosing customers from incompetance and not caring.
