My fifth wheel has TWO foam cut-in tracks from one end of the trailer to the other lined up on our centered roof mounted air conditioner. Not much we can do with changing any of our foam ducts.
I'm sure the trailer engineering group had a positive air pressure spec to follow for their particular air conditioner to allow all of the opened vents to provide equal air flow as much as possible..
fortunate for us our ceiling mounted vents which are mounted about every six feet along the ceiling all are push to open/close types.
I have also seen some vent covers in LOWES that you might modify to close off your open vents??? Something like these shown here
Perhaps you can contact your tailer manf and see if they have some info for you.

Thanks, Roy. The heat is much more balanced than the A/C is -- so I've not had to do much there. If their room was particularly cold in comparison to the rest of the coach, I could always give them a space heater. Not so easy with the A/C. It's more of an issue in our hot NC summer months when we have direct sun than in the cooler months, of course. During the day I open the large vent on the A/C itself to funnel most of the air in the middle of the coach when we're hanging out. But in the evening I close that so it gets distributed through the vents.
Good idea to call the manufacturer. I'll give that a shot at lunch today. The bunkhouse is pretty large. I would have expected more than one vent there -- but like you said, that could very well have met design spec. Closing off others vents to push more air there may be all that's needed to help or fix this.
