I prefer 2. Otherwise my backside gets cold. Unfortunately someone vetoed that option...but seriously. Leaving the door open is the simplest option.
We have a 22RR. I can't find the 22BP but I assume it's a similar situation.
The furnace is mounted under the oven and there is one heating vent pointed toward the back and one toward the front, with both coming out of the main kitchen cabinet. There is no heating duct to the bedroom.
Honestly, we rarely use the furnace as a 1500w space heater is usually plenty down to around 30F. When it is cold, if we close the bedroom door, yes, almost no heat goes to the bedroom and there isn't room to put a space heater in the bedroom.
A simple solution assuming you have shore power is to turn the air/con fan on (fan mode not cooling mode). This will circulate the the warmed air from the back up to the bedroom as the air/con is ducted with a vent in the bedroom.
One item that might help clarify answers: Why do you not want the door open?
It is the 22RR. I misread it....
I did not know I could run the fan on the AC unit. It does not have a separate panel. If that is all I need to do, then that would work for some places. It also means that for others, I'm investing in a Honda generator....
You might need to get someone to wire the thermostat to allow it. The digital thermostats combine the air/con, heat and fan functions and automatically select which fan (furnace or air/con) is run. But it shouldn't be anything complex to wire in a switch for the air/con fan. The fan by itself doesn't draw a lot of wattage, so should be no problem for the electrical system to run both air/con and furnace fans.
Alternatively, you could check if there is a heat strip option for the air/con. As mentioned, a 1500w space heater does quite well down to around 30F, so a heat strip should handle things unless you do really cold weather camping.
Sounds like a bit much for this year, but I will definitely look into that.
Generally, I tend to camp in to November. I'd say -10C is about the worst that I'd expect. (by then our water lines are winterized.)
