Roof mounted heat pumps
This is a question for heat pump owners...........does your compressor in the heat mode run longer than 2-3 minutes before it turns off?

The Atwood heater does not perform well. Fortunately, I bought the unit mainly for the AC portion. I found that the heater will not reach the temperature I want and will not keep it there, even if it’s not that cold outside.
I guess I am going to be the odd man out here. My Atwood 15000 btu works well in both air conditioning and heat pump modes. The fans do do some weird things on heat mode but it does warm up our 30ft trailer quite well and will hold the temp I set after a while.
Don't know if the following wiring diagram will help you or not. It does seem to show the wire colors.
