heat pump

I have a 2012 Bounder 35K. 2 air units. the rear air unit is also a heat pump, the front unit seems to be only air. Should both these units be heat pumps? The rear unit will put out heat, it seems the front unit will only produce cool air unless the rear unit is on. Seems the front unit only moves warm air from the front unit when it is on. Hard to adjust and even temp through the motor home. Anyone got any ideas?

    Ideally, YES. I have seen a few(very few) RV's that had just one HP and the other was AC only. The more common is ALL the roof top units are HP's if the HP option is selected. Doug

    Somewhere in your paperwork it will give the model numbers for your AC units.

    We have a 2012 Discovery 40G. It has 3 AC units. Only 1 has a heat pump. It seems that the single heat pump works fine to keep the whole coach warm down to about 40 degrees outside. Colder than that and the heat pump doesn't put out very warm air anyhow and we use the furnaces.

    Are there two separate thermostats? If so does the menu read the same? AC/fan only/heat etc ??? Front stat has adjustable heat/ac temp settings?

    I own a Winnebago (Gas) and I have one heat pump and it's a basement unit at the rear of the coach curbside. The heat pump was moved on the DP Winnebago (basement air) because that space is now used for a urea tank!

    Both my ACs have heat pumps and I thought Winnies had two also.
