Question:
Quick question- Will the heat pump feature work in 30º weather, or will I still need a furnace? I dont use my travel trailer much in the winter, maybe once or twice each year but Id like to be comfortable when I do! Thanks for your help!

Hey Fletch, the heat pump feature on the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC System w/ Heat Pump # GE85ZR is nice but it's not going to keep a travel trailer warm if its 30 degrees outside. You would need to have a furnace for those types of temps.
We have propane furnaces though like the Dometic part # DMC54RR which puts out 30k btu of heat and would do a great job.
