I have a Summerland 2600tb.the Ac actually blows out into the main cabin at the ac no vents. Air doesn't flow into the bedroom due to the wall right at the ac. I would like a way to increase the air flow into the bedroom. Last year I put a box fan on the table blowing air into the room. But this is nosey and in the way. Was thinking of cutting a vent into the wall to see if this would help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen a small "triangular"? fan that mounts in an upper corner of the doorway that will blow some air that direction.bumpy

I am surprised that your setup does not have vents built into the ceiling...Mine has ceiling vents cut out in the foam between the roof and the ceiling that runs from one end of the trailer to the other.Even my propane furnace uses floor mounted vents through out the trailer.I have run all kinds of cabling through these vents which was pretty easy to do by pulling down the ceiling vents that are installed about every four feet or so and fishing the cable from one vent to the next. On both ends of my setup I have ceiling mounted cabinets so I can use this to gain access to ceiling vents and keep all of my cables hidden from view.I figured all the of trailers did this...My OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer does not have ceiling vents but of course it is only a 12-foot long box so the built-in vents of the roof mounted A/C does just fine...I did look at a few photos on-line of your model and could not find any ceiling vents being shown in the many photos I found of your model.I see a couple of spots where mounting a fan up high built-in the wall. Was looking at some of those at WALMART recent for a different project and the axial fans probably are not all that loud... One would want to get a DC Axial fan for the trailers so they would work off the batteries when not on shore power. Something like this perhaps with a small louver vent on the other other side of the wall would move alot of air and return to the front room going under the door etc...Lowes has these small round vents that can push into a hole in the wall and glue in place or use small screws... They also have some of the plastic air lover vents as well... I have some of these in use in OFF-ROAD trailer where I am moving warm air inside the cabinet areas that wrap around the floor area under the cabinet tops...Roy Ken

nothing unusual at all. my first motorhome did not have ducted air, don't think my second one did either. bumpy

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.To the OP - since uneven air distribution is an issue for you I'd be inclined to permanently mount a fan or two within that dividing wall between the bedroom and main cabin. Scan for any interior studs and plan accordingly, and when you do cut use care to not cut any wires that might be inside the wall. A small box fan would work but you might also consider this type of window mount fan I use myself in our own trailer to draw fresh air into our rig. The adjustable side panels would make it particularly easy to fit snugly into any opening you might cut in that wall, particularly if you first frame out the hole so the fan has something to which it can be secured.3 Speed, Reversible, Twin Blade Fan

We bought a corner mount fan from Amazon to move warm air from a greenhouse into the house. It's the Achla Minuteman fan. Pretty quiet and does a decent job.It's 120 volt, but if it's for the AC, then that's OK.

Great idea and nice work; however, I would remount the smoke alarm since its ability to detect smoke is compromised especially when the A/C is not running.

Good call. It's not hard wired so it was easy to relocate it.

We actually have exactly the same issue with our 2015 Creek Side 20fq. We have windows on each side, but no vent on the roof and no window at the front of the trailer. Makes for a pretty stale environment sometimes. We have Solar on the roof right where a roof vent could have gone. I think trying to cut a window into a welded aluminum frame, laminated wall type construction would be looking for all kinds of problems................So as it stands right now we are still toying with little 12v fans mounted in places that may help...........But truth be told, we are still struggling with this. We do most of our camping away from hook ups.

We just installed a 4ft shield used on a fluorescent light fixture cut down to size. We drilled holes in it and attached it to the ceiling with L brackets. He used a Dremel with a blade for cutting plastic. It does obstruct the corner cabinet door a small amount. But now we have a cold bedroom! You can even close the bedroom curtain and unhook one of the hooks holding the curtain up and still get air blasting in. The end of it does cover the smoke alarm so we will have to come up with a (small door) way to get to the alarm should it go off. But since the same interior air is circulating it shouldn't effect it's performance. But you should check yours if you do this.

Great idea. And, in the Original Posters set up he has room above his cabinets so he could cut a hole in his bedroom divider wall and then use your idea to move air straight into the bedroom.

Bet that would work slick.

Could even add some sort of LED light in it to make it into a usable light too. (if needed)

I would make it easy to remove. It will probably get dust blown into it by the AC and need to be cleaned once and awhile.
