Heat Pump Heat

How hot should the heat pump be blowing when operating. Mine seems to be moderately warm and it is only 50 + degrees outside on the coldest nights. I am only trying to get the coach up to 65 degrees and the unit runs most of the night.

if he is like my 98 dsdp it's heat strips i believe and they don't work real well below 50-55..

Your right, it has heat strips. That is probably why it doesn't work well when in the 50's. Thanks for the input, I guess I will have to use portable heaters.

do you have something against propane..the furnace will get you up to comfort level and then the heat strips will hold you there..just a thought...I for one do not like portable heaters..too many fires in the past..

No, just trying not to use propane, hate hauling the 40lb bottle back and forth for refill. I am semi full timing in the coach. I also do not like those portables....will only use the ones with thermo-protection when in the coach. Next winter I guess I will have to look into a large extenda-stay bottle with propane delivery.

Thanks everyone for the input. Wish there was a way to upgrade the heat strips.
