Too smart a thermostat?
Freeze warning in our area tonight, and they ain't kidding. Hadn't dumped fresh tank and needed to purge lines. So much easier on the class A. Then I decide to keep coach warm so I can follow up ...

Our furnace will also come on to help the HP if you select a temp increase of 5 deg or more from ambient. HP shuts off completely at 36 deg and furnace from there.
That is a design feature of RVP (Coleman) AC/HP systems. Coleman believes that it will take too long to heat up an RV by HP ONLY with a greater than 5 degree split. Once the RV gets below the 5 degree split, the furnace shuts off and the HP will continue the final complete heat cycle. Doug
Thanks Doug. I finally figured that out fiddling with it and ultimately reading the book. It is not a feature I like. I also do not like.that I can have the fan on continuously in cool mode and the hp cycles as needed, but on heat mode the fan only cycles on and off with the compressor. OK, I am a control freak.
