I am surprised that your setup does not have vents built into the ceiling...

Why? The Keystone Summerland series is considered an entry level product so one can expect to give up some features that may be found in other more expensive models, ducted A/C being one.

Thanks for the info Soundguy... That must be the reason...
Nothing wrong with entry level trailers as long as you understand what you're getting and what you're not. ;) I remember friends of ours ordered a Summerland at the Toronto RV show a few years ago - a heck of a deal at the time, except the trailer normally came with a gas only water heater. Our friends for whatever reason insisted on a water heater with the 120 vac electric heating option which the dealer said could be done at the factory if they ordered the trailer. This they did but after delivery they discovered the water heater had been wired to the same breaker as the microwave oven, which in turn meant they could only run one appliance at a time. The dealer's fix was to install a switch so they could alternate between the two but that really didn't solve the problem. They had that trailer only a couple years as things like that wiring issue and direct blow A/C rather than ducted in a trailer that size really became annoying. At the price they paid for that trailer they got a great deal BUT there were drawbacks.
As far as ducted A/C is concerned, sure most larger trailers with the possible exception of budget priced units would have it BUT in smaller trailers like mine, even though it's not entry level, it's not uncommon for the furnace and/or A/C to be direct blow since there's just not that much space to heat or cool.
