Addning heat strips to heat pump AC units

[mchero]

I have two ac/heat pumps, both same models on my 07 Discovery. The units are running w/o issue BUT I'd like to save my propane & install some heat strips.

Has anybody done this before? I have located heat stips for Coleman AC units but I need to check & see of the controller had the plug (2 pin) for the heat strips.

Roof units are model 8534C8797. Both function 100% but when the temps are down below 40 the heat pums don't function well.

I found this Heat strip;

I put a heat strip in mine and it didn't satisfy me. the AC moves so much air that the heat strip did not feel like it was putting out any heat.

I've thought about doing this as well, figure why not run AC heat when I'm in a campsite with electricity.

Haven't done it, but have thought about it. 🙂
