Hi all,
I know this is an older post but I'm a newer member catching up.
I had a Fujitsu ducted split heat pump (12K BTU) installed last year to heat half of my house. It worked great all winter, our coldest night was -12 Fahrenheit and it was still putting out 100 degree air. The model I have is their "normal" unit, they have one that is made for this kind of weather but I went with this one on the advice of my heating guy, he heats his house and camp with these heat pumps alone.
Are the RV AC manufacturers lagging in technology or would these colder units be too heavy? My outside unit is a little bigger than the AC on the roof of my camper but I think my camper is only an 8K BTU.
Are there any RV heat pumps that will still work when the temps really get down there?
Just curious.

are you sure that the HP wasn't on emergency heat/backup heat at that temperature? none of the many heat pumps I have had have put out 100 degree air unless the backup was running.
