Just curious - cold rear bathroom
Bathroom is the coldest place in my trailer. I doubt there is any easy DIY fix for this, just curious why. I know how careless they are at the factory when packing pink insulation wool under aluminum ...

Almot,
A couple ideas:
- Simple: Open the bath ceiling vent and leave the door open. Rising warm air will work it's way into the bathroom to escape.
- More work, but better results.....if your floor plan allows: Put a couple computer fans, controlled by a simple thermostat, in the main cabin somewhere that they can blow air into the bathroom. I put mine under my fridge and they blow air under the under the tub (keeps the plumbing from freezing too),but you could put them above the door too. I then put a small grill on the side of the tub to let the air out and into the bathroom (if above the door, no need to do anything other than another grill). Still need to leave the overhead vent open.....not a bad idea if you are running a cat heater anyway.
The above works well for me down to -18 F.
p.s.; opening the door and vent, and turning the bath fan on a few minutes before you go into the bathroom (as in to take a shower), really warms it up quickly if your cabin is warm.
