AC in bathroom wayyyy too cold.

On the last 2 or 3 trips with our new trailer we find that the bathroom "per meat thermo" is 10* colder in the bathroom then the rest of the trailer. Its like a meat locker. We would like to shut it off in there. I see they sell vents that close up. If we go that route and close that up, should we open the "main" vent a little on the inside AC shroud itself to compensate for the 1 closed vent.

I just cut a thin plastic sheet from an old container like an ice cream bucket. Made it into the shape of the vent but a little wider with a tab to be able to hold on to, then cut out a 1/2" line towards the center, slide the sheet between the vent and holder and it blocks 98% of the air going through.

I just open the cold air discharge vents at the AC unit in the living area which in turn restricts air from passing through the duct work.
Times fun when you're having flies!

Just close down the bathroom vent a little. You will still want some air coming out or it will get too hot. This will increase the air flow to the other vents in the trailer and should balance the temperature in the whole trailer. No need to open the vents on the air conditioner itself.

Maybe, if your airflow gets too low the AC can freeze up.

Why not just open the bathroom door ? At the right time of course.

My Coleman has the same problem, the rear of the trailer is much cooler than the front. I wound up closing the in bathroom vent, and have the front one as wide open as possible. The vents are screw in type.

I switched over to Spaceport vents. Now I can adjust them as needed.

I don't know anything about your unit but they do spec minimum square inches of vent area. Read the installation manual and be sure that you don't cut air flow too much.
