CS-S - How to circulate heat from under bed?

We have a 2018 CS-S.  When our bed is set up the mattress goes right to the back wall, and so there are no vents to allow heat from the Alde to circulate and it gets trapped under the bed where it gets quite toasty, while I’m still cold up top!  We’d like to do some more shoulder season camping and have a more efficient way to get heat moving around the cabin.  I’m wondering about putting a little battery-operated fan on the floor to blow the hot air toward the front, but thought someone here might have come up with a great solution.  Anyone come up with anything clever?

    Someone used PVC pipe and made a telescope-like vent to allow heat to rise from the back.  We have a CS-S and we know what you mean, although we are plenty warm.  We crack 2 windows to encourage airflow.  Try using a small fan under the bed and see if you are more comfortable.

    I pull the middle part of mattress away from the back wall a couple of inches.

    We crack ceiling fan to exhaust humid air.  When that air leaves it is naturally replaced with warm air drawn from under mattress.  When it’s real chilly we turn the alde up a bit before retiring and then reset it when we turn in.  We crack windows as needed for comfort.

    We use a small battery operated fan to move the air and open the storage door a bit. I find the rising heat makes the bed too hot for me. We are set up to sleep side wall to side wall.
