The Furrion Chill Replacement Air Conditioner, part # FR42PV, is designed to replace your already installed Dometic Brisk air conditioner. If this is your setup, then the Furrion will not take away any functionality you already have.

It runs on AC power the same as your existing Dometic Air Conditioner.

However, I spoke with Furrion and they informed me they don't have components to work with a heat pump.
