THe explanation: The A/C is in 3 parts
The upper part is the "Works" (Compressor, Evap. Condenser and all the stuff that goes with them This is where the "Magic" happens (Air gets chilled, or heated depending on which side (in or out) you are on)
THe Middle part, in some RV's is just a tunnel from inside to outside. In your case it's the "Ducting adapter" (Where the duct work to those 5 vents connects)
Now the bottom part.. there are two versions of this. one is for "non-ducted" and it vents straight back down,, and LOUD I might add
Yours has that vent blocked off to force the cold air into the ducts and out the remote vents (much less noisy by the way)
The reason they did it that way is inventory reduction.> ONE ceiling panel works both with Ducted and Non-Ducted. just by adding or deleting the block off plate.
Actually....
The openings in ceiling grille have sliding louvers that when closed cold air is directed to ducts AND when OPEN they dump cold air direct into the common area to help quickly cool it.
Hence the Name...CHILL GRILLE
