Bathroom without heat duct
Just brought home our 2014 Swift 248rbs and noticed there is not heat duct in the bathroom Any suggestions on how cold the bathroom may become or how to run a duct from heater to bathroom. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Cheapest solution: Leave the bathroom door open. Close door when using. I think the only way you could run a line in there would be to tee off a nearby run.

I though the same about my 2014 30.5, but then I found the small circular vent behind the toilet.

Like having your seat pre-heated.

Ours has one but several past rigs did not. It never was much of a problem cause the door had a 2 in. Space at the bottom and was open enough to let warm air.
Unless you spend lots of time in there? LOL

We have a 248RBS, the furnace only has two vents on the sofa and in the bedroom.
I probally would of looked at a different unit if I had noticed that. The StarCraft equivilant has ducted heat and a thermosat that controls both heat and a/c

Bathroom duct
Our 2014 White Hawk 24RBS only has a 1" duct in the bathroom so it is chilly. The rest of the unit has 3" ducts. We thought the vent was broken!

Someone suggested putting a vent into the bathroom door,but I would be worried since the doors seem to be hollow. We don't camp in the cold, but just to take the chill off would be nice!

Our model has the toilet in its own small room with a 4" outlet straight out of the furnace behind the forward wall. Sauna anyone?

Same here. It gets mighty toasty in there quickly. I actually closed it to force more heat elsewhere.

I'm concerned that closing it will cause a problem with the furnace. What's been your experience?

Our small bathroom has a full rectangular vent in the floor. It will roast you in there if the door is left shut, so it stays open when not in use and that warmth goes into the bunk and living area.

Same with ours. Door must be open. Also, with the ac on it would be a wasted of conditioned air to keep it enclosed in that toilet room.
