Roof fans, ceiling registers, and the cover that is not a repair

RV 'vents' are four different holes. The roof vent moves air in and out of the coach. The ceiling register aims air-conditioner supply. The floor register is the furnace. The skylight is a window in the roof. A product for one of those holes does not fit the others, and the search results love to mix them.

Start with the hole. A 14-by-14 crank vent that died is a Maxxair conversation. A round ceiling grille blasting the dinette is a WKZO conversation. A 2-by-10 plastic floor vent that cracked under a shoe is QIPECO. A bright bunk under a dome, with no water stains, is a cover. Water stains are a roof job.

Questions worth answering first

Can I close all the ceiling vents to force air to the bedroom?

Don't. RV air conditioners ice up when the supply path is blocked. The WKZO listing doesn't fully close for this reason. Leave at least one register moving air.
