Cab heaters (and dash air conditioners) in motorhomes are notoriously sad. there is simply too much space for them to handle.
You can try putting up hooks to hang blankets behind the cockpit seating in cold or very hot weather, to limit the space the heater/air conditioner has to try to warm or cool. It might work.
Or, you can try running the furnace while driving, to augment the cab heater.
In hot weather, some people run the generator so they can have the roof top A/C running as they drive.
Remember, in a 32 foot motorhome there is over 2000 cubic feet of air to heat or cool! That cab heater or air conditioner is designed for a truck cab or at best a large SUV!
