Electric Fireplace or AC/Heat pump
What would be the best way to go put in a Electric Fireplace or replace one of the AC's with a Heat pump combo?

Heat pumps work when there is enough heat OUTSIDE, depending on the model some can work down to around 30 degrees but many cut out at around 40.
Electric fireplace,, Heat output varies with wattage but it works at all temps. and looks nice.
Space heaters,, See electric fireplace, but with the "Fire" turned off. plus more flexibility in positioning and lower cost.
NOTE: A 1500 watt heater draws around 12 amps, Many of those outlets used in motor homes are somewhat "Stressed" at that current level and may fail. I have had one fail, so have others,, I fixed by putting dedicated 15/20 amp outlets, each is fed with 12 ga, bent around a screw and tightened well, and fed by a breaker that feeds only that outlet nothing else,
