Started the generator, when it took over from the shore power I switched on the heatpump. Heat pump didn't start, the propane furnace took over instead. Too cold for the heat pump? About 7 or 8 C (45 F or so).
Then drained and refilled the dehumidifiers, and went out to check the batteries for water. They took about a litre (4 GCs) Glad I hadn't left them much longer.
Back inside went to wipe up a small spill on the counter--the paper towels are nothing more than a pile of shredded paper! :E Mice!
A quick look around didn't turn up any more sign, tomorrow we'll put the slides out and have a good look in all the cupboards and cupboards. I'll also see what I can of the heat pump wiring.
Shut the gen down--no shore power! Down at the breaker box the GFI had tripped. It reset without a problem.
Sigh.
At 45 degrees the heat pumps should start and still be effective putting out some heat. Maybe you did not set the thermostat right. Maybe you set it at furnace thinking you had set it for either zone 1 which is the rear heat pump or zone 2 which is the front heat pump. Plus you got to set it where it says heat pump.
