Short YouTube clip (Derek Cole) diagnosing uneven temperatures in a mobile home: the front stays cold while the back is hot. The speaker explains mobile homes typically have two duct tracks (front and back) connected by a crossover duct; a damaged, disconnected, or missing crossover duct can prevent conditioned air from reaching the rear track, causing the back to be hotter. The content suggests repair or replacement of the crossover duct when replacing the HVAC system.

The front part of my mobile home stays cold, while the back part gets too hot to sit in. Why is this happening.
With the mobile home you have? Basically, if you can visualize the top of your mobile home looking down from Google space, you have two tracks of duct work and then move on. You have the front track, you have the back track. Now, connecting those two tracks is what we call crossover duct. So when you go in to replace a system, oftentimes the crossover needs to be replaced because something is happened to it. So that kind of sounds like what's happened here. You're getting the air on the front, but the crossover duct to go to the second track is not connected or has a hole in it, not getting the air where it needs to go. So that's why you're hotter in that side of the house versus the other side.
