In the 78 Royale that burned. Heat distribution was a problem. Linda slepped in the front, and was hot. I sleep at the rear, and I was cold. Sometimes I'd turn on a small fan. That helped. But we were pleased that under the kitchen sink, and behind the bath area. All was warm, and comfy. This 78 Royale had to end up better. So I found some 4 inch aluminum flexible ducting. to be used in confined spaces. And 4 inch by 5 foot rigid aluminum ducting for long, and open runs. All are now wrapped with aluminum foil bubble wrap, and taped. Were possible. I wrapped the ducts together to reduce total heat lose. There is insulated flexible ducting on the market. I would liked to have used it. But it takes up a lot of cupboard space. Have photo's if anyone is interested. Looking forward to getting the kitchen base in order Then Linda can go in with her wheelchair. And finalize the location of the under counter sink. In the Corian countertop. Then onto the rear drive in bath area. Any questions. You may call my cell at 319-521-4891Bob Dunahugh 78 RoyaleCedar Rapids Iowa..
