Why Didn't they put a heat duct in the bathroom

Does anyone know why a heat duct was not placed into the bathroom of my 2018 Force 37TSHD?

I have the oposite problem. When my furnace is on the bath room in my 5th wheel is about 100 degrees. I think about 70 percent of all the air from my furnace ends up there. I guess I don't have to worry about frozen pipes.

Get a heat register with a closeable damper. It makes a world of difference. Both of my campers now have acted like yours. And both times now, I fixed it.

The first camper, the register came from Home Depot. On this current one, it came from a RV dealer due to its odd size (2”x10”).

Thanks to all for responding. I guess I should have said "in all 2018 dynamax Force model 37TSHD bathrooms".

If you have access to the ductwork under the floor, it would be a fairly simple process to add the ducting you need. Parts would run less than $40. A couple of hours doing the work. If your under floor access is limited, it might be possible.
I guess I am lucky as I have both the floor register and lots of good access under the floors.
Good luck on finding a solution that will work for you.

As indicated in post #3 a duct in a small room that can be closed off can cause overheating there and robs heat from other areas. Many homes also omit tbem.

Check and see if it comes through on the side of your shower basin.

Oh yes you do?

I have the same issue as the furnace is directly under the bathroom sink and show, so even with both the bathroom and bedroom register vent covers closed to force more heat out into the living room and kitchen, it still gets real toasty in there.

Now, for those skinny bathroom and bedroom vents, yes, you can get them at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Whatever you do...

DON'T BUY THOSE PLASTIC CHEAPIES FROM CAMPINGWORLD OR OTHER RV STORES!

Get the metal ones at HD or Lowe's!!

Camping World actually carries the 4x10 metal ones and they are (believe it or not) less expensive than HD or Lowe's.

This is the Camping World junk after 5-minutes (melted):
