At ambient temps below 45, the heat pump is very inefficient and will not keep the RV warm at all. That's why the furnace kicks on if outside temps are below 45--it's backup for the heat pump.
If you want to avoid burning propane, get some small electric space heaters to help the heat pump along.
The heat pump is not going to blow very warm air, although it will be warmer than outside air. That's the nature of a heat pump. Quite honestly you might be more comfortable with space heaters alone and leave the heat pump OFF.
I should also mention we will be boondocking in national parks. Does the heat pump only work on AC power? Also, how do we ensure the furnace kicks on automatically? Also, we don't mind dressing warmly :)
well does your roof AC only run on AC power? think about what we told you what a heat pump is.
No need to be condescending and rude... And we want to save propane because we don't want to run out midweek and need to go fill up or something. I work from the RV and it's a pain the move on weekdays because of the time investment.
