Now if you want the heat pumps then you select by zones. The one in the bedroom is zone 1, so you select zone 1 and then go to mode and select heat pump. You set the temperture you want and it will hold that temperture. Same goes for the other two heat pumps, you select the zone and then the mode which is heat pump. We have two heat pumps on our coach and they work great until the temperture gets down to around thirty degrees, then it will switch to furnace automaticly. Our heat pumps really put out a lot of heat. I was reading another post where he states his only knocks off the chill. That is not true. If you set it at 80 degrees, it will maintain that temperture. At night all we use is the front heat pump, set it at 75 and it keeps my 38' coach warm all night.
Hope that helps you.
You also mention that the furnace and heat pump go on together on your coach. Sometimes the furnace will go on for a minute or two, but then it will cut off and the heat pump setting will go on. They are not suppose to both run at the same time. Fact it takes a few minutes for the heat pump to start if it is on Auto. It will start right away if you set it at LOW or HIGH, but it will throw cold air until the pump engages. Then it will gradually start heating.
