Question:
I have a FACR08HESA2. Can you tell me if this or if another heat strip can be added?

Hey Scott, thanks for reaching out!
Your 8K Furrion AC Unit is too small for a heat strip to fit, unfortunately.
I confirmed with my contact at Furrion that there aren't any other options for your system either. If you were to upgrade to a 13.5K or 15K you would be able to use the Heat Strip # FR35SR, but I know that is a bit of a stretch when it comes to finances.
An alternative would be to add a fireplace in your trailer to add that little bit of heat element.
Does this sound like something you'd be interested in?
