Anyone seen or heard of cold weather heat pumps working with an Airstream? |
Not an answer to your question, but just a comment on heat pumps in the AS.
When we bought our AS last fall, I was impressed to learn that it had a heat pump. We have used it and it seemed to work ok in temperatures in teh forties last winter.
But then I thought - why run the AC compressor and put added wear and tear on it, when I can just use one of those very inexpensive 1500 watt ceramic cube heaters instead - so that its what I do. It gives plenty enough heat and can be easily moved around in the trailer to where we need it most.
We already had the heater anyway and had used it in our last trailer that had no heat pump.
