Highwest,
If it's not too cold I just use the silicone elbow for simplicity. If it's around freezing I'll route a hose to point it towards the bed area. If it's well below freezing, I'll hang a towel or blanket from the...
It does quite well. When it's in the single digits I wedge a towel between the tent and support and route a flexible hvac hose underneath. This saves fuel and battery and give a little better distribution in the sleeping area but it's not necessary.
