Additional air circulation with furnace fan

Has anyone setup their furnace fan to run (with no heat) just to increase the air circulation in their camper? We have trouble balancing the temp in the summer in the back bunk

I guess that would have to be rig specific. Our heat and air are two separate units but controlled by the same control. i don't think they can be turned on simultaneously.

A small fan in the back bunk room might help.

A floor or box fan will do wonders. Moving air is 3x cooler than just cool air.

There are dozens of post here asking why they both come on together. On most single thermostat systems, if you switch to heat with the fan on anything other than "Auto" both systems fans come on.

Lol, I wish my system worked like that. I thought it would be easy to do, just bypass or connect a jumper, but I have yet to figure out how to do it.
