Furnce duct work

I just recently upgraded from a 2008 bhs Jay Flight to a 2018 287 BHS Jay Flight SLX. In the new camper it wasn't getting warm in the bathroom and I noticed the duct work was small leading to that vent. If I replace that with bigger piping would it help or take away heat from the main living area?

I would do a little investigation. That little duct roasts me out of the bathroom. I suspect it is pinched or not fully connected.

As for a larger size and how it will affect the rest of the tt. Yes it will take heat away, and over heat the bathroom, but probably not noticable. Best thing to do is add a damper.

Just had a thought... For heated air to get into the bathroom, cold air needs to go out BUT there is no 'cold air return' like home systems have. If you haven't already, as a test, try leaving a bathroom door slightly open and see if that makes a difference. I know our 2 bathroom doors have a significant gap at the bottom for the cold air return.
