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.

It doesn't make "a world of difference" at all. The elements in a
properly-sized home electric furnace put out the same amount of heat as
the burners in a properly-sized home gas furnace.

But they lack the heat transfer ability because they lack equal heat
transfer area.


What? Your statement makes no sense.

Therefore, there is no
noticeable difference in heating performance between an electric furnace
and a gas furnace.

Bull twiddle.


Another statement that makes no sense.
