Heat coming out of vent in floor?

Question

Ok I'm working on my 2000 winnebago Suncruiser with the ford V10. I got all my dash working with heat and a/c. Had a couple of broken hoses the white and the green vacuum hoses. Now I have A/C. Today I noticed that the a/c was on a feeling goooood but for some reason I have heat coming up through the vent in the floor between the front seats about a foot or so back from the dog house. Why would there be heat and very hot coming out of that vent? This is all new to me so I am playing the game of learning something new everyday.
Thanks For any input!

Your coach heater is on. This is an auxiliary heating system to warm the coach in the winter. Check your toggle switches on the dash, should be one for coach heater. High will be up, low down, off in the middle position.

I have the exact same coach!  Previous poster is correct, your coach heater is on.  It's an option on Winnebago/Itasca motorhomes called motoraide, the engine cooling system has a secondary heater core to help heat the rest of the coach behind the cab.  You'll also find a vent in the bedroom &amp; maybe the kitchen also!  It also routes coolant around your water heater, if you drive the RV around a few minutes &amp; turn on the water pump and open a faucet, you'll have hot water even if you didn't have the propane or electric heater on!  Handy little option to have, especially traveling in cold weather to save propane running the furnace while driving!  Motoraide has been around since the '70s, but for some reason isn't standard on all motorhomes,never could figure out why...
