Our 2017 Jayco has a Coleman AC. We miss the Dometic heat pump that was in our Forest River. Thinking of pulling out the AC. Any feedback on upgrading to a heatoump
Is one brand better than another? What about a heat strip. We are sucking down too much propane.

We use our heat pump along with ceramic heaters. They both have their place. That said I would not pull a working AC just to replace it with a AC/HP.

A heat pump is economical to operate and distributes even dry heat. I had them on a prior rig and really liked it. It does not use nearly as much energy as a radiant heater or strip heat.

You could just buy a couple ceramic heaters it would be a lot cheaper.
