Mystery Solved. Took it in to the shop and they opened it up from the bottom and found that the ducting to the garage vent was torn, not routed anywhere, and just stuffed in there. He took pics. I thought it was just a small trip under the pantry from the duct in the kitchen to the duct in the garage, but as it turns out there was a separate run from the furnace all the way to the back vent. The factory just didn't put it in right, and the heat was just getting lost. All was put like it should have been, and now we're looking forward to getting at least some heat back there the way it was supposed to be. It IS a furnace duct!

I also noticed that I wasn't getting any heat from the garage vent in my 2015 V-Series 3805. This was on my "list" of items to be addressed under warranty. I just got coach back yesterday from having warranty items fixed, and the garage vent issue was because there was 12' (yes, twelve feet) of excess vent pipe kinked and crushed that was supposed to feed the garage vent. The dealership removed the excess vent pipe, reattached to vent and properly sealed before reinstalling under belly. Now I have heat in the garage!

It takes too long to measure duct and wire to the proper length so they just cut what should be enough and shove the surplus out of the way.

They probably waste enough material to pay the wages of a QC person.
