Hi rgatijnet1,
That, unfortunately, is misinformation.
Heat pumps work by extracting heat from one space and moving it to another space. For an RV that means extracting heat from the air outside the RV and moving that latent heat to inside the RV.
No need to swear the heat pump is blowing hot air on you. That is exactly what it is doing.

You are right but if you remove the cold from the room, you are left with the heat. The cold is blown outside. Stand under one of the roof top AC/heat pump units and with 15,000 BTU's of heat, drawing only 12 amps, you would swear that it is heat blowing on you, and so would the thermostat as the coach gets warmer. :B
Naturally the roof top units will quit in the 30's but the portable unit, that I gave the link on, has warmed our coach even with outside temps in the lower teens.
