I recently bought a 2025 Pinnacle 38BFRK, heater appears to run fine. It sends tons of heat to bedroom and bathroom but very low air flow/heat to the living area. Ducting seems good at heater. Has anyone experienced this problem?

We have simular issues with our 2018 Jayco. What it seems to be is the heater ducts are sized all the same. With that in mind the hot air takes the shortest route to exit. Therefore most of the air exits the duct closest to the heater followed most by the next closest with the furthest away getting less heat.If you can find a way to restrict the airflow from the closest vent this will cause more air to flow to the other vents. It could take some playing around with the vents but it is possible to balance the airflow.
 
We have a 2024 MQRS and we have about a 2-3 degree cooler difference between front bedroom and back living but we run the fireplace 24 hours a day.
 
We have a similar problem but it's our master bath (38fbrk) that has little hot air coming out of the duct.
 
Replace the floor vents with adjustable ones. Then reduce the airflow on the vents where it gets to warm and that should increase the warm air supply to the cold areas, its called air balance. Those adjustable floor vents are available at most big box stores like Home Depot or Lowes. Just measure your vents first because they come in different sizes and colors.
