Changing heat pump to heat strip
Has anyone changed a roof air heat pump to a heat strip?

Hi,
My RV came with a Dometic thermostat. Of course that limited heating to either/or furnace/heat strip. Since I wished to use both, I added an additional thermostat and moved the furnace over to the new one. Now I can leave the furnace set cooler than the original thermostat and the furnace will "pick up the slack" if needed.
It also means I can boost the 25000 btu's from the furnace by an additional ~5000 btu's.
Air mixing is faster, too.
