Do you know that rv heat pumps will not run when the outdoor temp. is below about 40 f. They would frost up the evaporator and do not have a defrost cycle like a home air to air heat pump.
If your trermostat has choices like heat, cool, furnace, a/c, like ours, we choose heat. Our unit then uses heat pump until its too cold for it, then auto. switches to propane furnace.
Didnt know an RV heat pump played a different game than the one at home. I know they dont work worth squat when the temp is below 35. When it is 28 out it takes mine almost 2.5 hours to go from 68 to 72 in the house. It has an aux heat strip but try not to let it go into that mode as it spends the electric meter like crazy
