Handdyman,
Your Vectra is very close sister ship to our Itasca Horizon. Ours is an '04 36GD with the CAT C-7 330HP. Now, as has been stated, you have TWO different heating systems and ONE air conditioning system. Your basement A/C system provides either HEAT or A/C. But, the FURNACE which is ONLY propane, will only provide heat and, it only provides that heat, through the FLOOR VENTS. But, the good part about the gas furnace is, it also provides heat to the COMPARTMENTS to keep water tanks and lines from freezing. Your basement A/C and heat pump can't do that.
But, when the furnace is in operation, you should receive heat from ALL the floor registers, not just a few. And, as has been stated, if things (namely the thermostat) are working correctly, if you ask for heat higher than around 4 degrees higher than the present ambient temperature, and your thermostat is set on ELECTRIC heat, BOTH the basement A/C heat pump AND the gas propane furnace will come on and achieve your asked for temp. Once that has been met, and you leave the option switch to ELECTRIC, from that point on, when the temp drops below the set point, ONLY your basement A/C heatpump will activate.
Contrary, if you have your switch on the T-stat set to GAS heat, and ask for ANY amount of degrees above the ambient temp, ONLY the gas furnace will come on and achieve your asked for temp. Hope this helps some.
