Answer to original question.
You can ADD a heat Strip to certain model RV Heat Pumps.
There would be no reason to REPLACE a HP for a AC only model with the add on Heat Strip. The Heat Strips are 5600BTU's. The Heat Pumps are their BTU rating----13,500k or 15,000k. basically 3 times the Heat production of a Heat Strip. Using Heat Strips as HEAT in sub 35 degree weather is not a good Heat Source. Heat Strips are marketed as removing the Chill in the RV, not to heat the RV. Doug
