Does 9610007991 Dometic Connect Essential RV Thermostat Have Furnace and Heat Pump Controls

Question:

This thermostat can independently control the heat pump and the furnace, I have a problem because the screen doesnt give me the option to turn on the furnace independently of the heat pump.

Hey Eumir, the 9610007991 Dometic Connect Essential RV Thermostat RV-C # DMC79JF does not have the ability to control the two heat sources independently. It can control both but it does not have ability to pick between either.

What model can I use to independently control the heat sources—heat pump and furnace?

@EumirR Looks like if you can get an original CCC2 thermostat that will control them independently but it's not one we offer at this time. What AC unit do you have?
