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 siding - a lot of bald spots, I saw this when had to replace a piece of siding. Maybe cold comes through other places too.

Floor plan is similar to this one (not mine, but similar, only my toilet is in the corner next to linen closet). Closet has a hatch to outside (marked S) - I put a door sealant strip around this one, and there is a vent hatch over the bathtub. Cold even with roof vent closed.

    No, not a duct air flow issue. I'm not using furnace. It's just cold at the rear end, have to close bathroom door in the night. My forehead usually reminds me to open it :)

    I'm assuming you're talking mainly about when the furnace is running. If that's true, it sounds mainly like a duct setup issue to me. It might be possible to run another heater duct from the furnace to the bathroom if you have access to the mechanicals without too much effort, or to enlarge whatever one exists (if any). It might also help to restrict the airflow through some of the other registers a little, but be aware of the minimum flow that the furnace needs for decent operation and don't cut it down too much.
