N-Trouble

I will admit there are a few things about the trailer that caught my attention. Curious if anyone else has encountered the same
1) The heater vent in the front bedroom puts out very little air/heat compared to the other two in the main living area and the one in the bathroom. I ended up having to buy some vent covers with built in dampeners that allow me to control airflow to the other vents allowing more air into the front bedroom. Without them we would have essentially froze in the front bedroom while the kids were toasty in the back bunk.
2) I was surprised to find the fan on the microwave above the stove it not vented out of the trailer. It just blows back into the trailer. I pulled the cover off of the section of cabinet above the micro to find it was completely empty (WTH!)with no ducting for the fan. Was this an oversight on Eclipse's part? Seems like a total waste of perfectly good storage space if their not going to run a duct out of the trailer which made no sense to me. My wife was cooking some bacon over the weekend and smoked out the entire trailer setting off the smoke alarm. This is how we found out the fan over the stove is not ducted out of the trailer:(
