Even distribution of heat

Is there a special setting to get the front bunk and rear bedroom close to the same temperatures using the furnace or heat pump? We just got our seneca and on the drive back it would be a good 10-20 degrees cooler in the front area overnight, which is where my kids will be. I had all vents open, but the heat seems to be directed more to the rear of the coach.

I replaced a couple of my floor vents with ones that have the adjustable baffle in it. That way I can tailor the heat distribution as needed. We keep the master bedroom turned down since there's 2 adult bodies producing heat and we keep the rear bunk area wide open where the baby sleeps to stay a little warmer. Close off the bathroom vent and close the bathroom door.

I haven't used the propane furnace because the tank is much smaller than what I had in my DP (like 1/2). In temps below 40 degrees the heat pump won't work. I use a small space heater in lieu of the furnace to conserve propane.

I found that the temp on the thermostats is different and you may have to set the front higher and the rear lower to bias heat to front.

I think the ducts are continuous so to keep the front heat pump from pushing too much heat to the rear I have previously inserted a sponge in the duct to keep front unit heating the front.
