so this is what I have its 1989 double wide with napoleon 1400 in the living room my living room and dinning room at only separated by a half wall this end of the house has cathedral ceilings in it. the back end of the house where the hall wall starts the ceiling drops down . creating a attic space . now my question is if I add vents towards the ceiling in the room with cathedral ceilings with duct work running to the rooms in the back end of the house . would this help move hot air towards the back end of the house I was thinking the pressure difference would pull the hot air from the ceiling where wood stove is located to rest of the house. would this work ?

The attic space is going to be cool. Even an insulated duct will lose some heat. So pull air from the cooler area and blow toward the stove room.
Or for more even heat in the house another option one would be to put a table or box fan at the far end of the hallway, placed on the floor, pointing toward the stove room. Run it on low speed. It will blow the cooler air down low, toward the woodstove. The denser cool air will be replaced with lighter warm air from the stove room. Running this way you should notice at least a 5F increase in the hallway temp after about 30 minutes running. It's worth a try to see how this works in this situation. Run a ceiling fan too if there is one in the living room.
