The rear A/C unit on our 2003 Gulfstream Sun Voyager gave up the ghost. Here is my question. We go to Florida for four months (Jan-Apr). We have to pay our own electric (15 cents/KWh). I wonder if I would be better off getting a new A/C unit with a heat pump (which is in the bedroom area, but is ducted)or continue to use the old style propane furnace to take the chill out of the air. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks

Heat pumps are 3-4 times more efficient than heat strips down to 40 degrees... but are still 2X better down to below freezing. Yes, my 13 year old units will keep working down to 32 degrees. You do not need heat in the basements until it gets below 28 for several hours...rarely if you are staying below Orlando.
Propane heartens in RVs are 75% efficient at best so no way it can compete with a heat pump even if propane was $1 delivered.
