Arctic Package Ducting

Our 2014 Cincinnati has the Arctic package with 2- 20K BTU furnaces. One furnace provides heat to the entire unit, excluding the bedroom - a total of 7 vents. The other furnace provides heat to the bedroom with one register. This seems terribly unbalanced to me, and a waste of the heating capacity of the bedroom furnace.
1. Do others, with 2 furnaces, have such an imbalance ?
2. Anyone found an easy way to get the bedroom furnace to contribute more toward heating the living area ? Is there a damper someplace that will cause the bedroom furnace to throw heat into the living area ?

Incidentally, I have temporarily blocked the duct that throws heat down into the water manifold area. There are a whole lot of times when we want the furnace to heat the living room, but the temperature is not going below 32 - no need to waste that heat in the basement when we can use it to good advantage in the living area.
