I never did care for a heatpump in a house let alone a RV because they
produce luke warm air at best and like you said when it is below 40 or
so they suffer in performance even more.

The heat pumps in our houses have gas-pack furnaces for backup heat,
instead of electric elements. Makes a world of difference. In fact, any
time I want all gas heat, I can switch the thermostat to "emergency
heat" and get really warm air.

But despite all that, we get almost all our home heat from woodstoves.
We haven't turned on the heat yet this winter.

(And no, I don't have a woodstove in my Class B <g>.)
