Berghild,

We have the single downstairs heat pump. The single unit is not enough to heat the entire trailer as it can't get the "upstairs" warm. The heat pump blower is on low (lower than the AC setting on auto) as any higher and it is too much airflow for the heat output. If I had it to do again I'd get dual heat pumps instead of the single heat pump and second AC unit. The heat pump saves us TONS on propane. The down side of the pump is that it doesn't handle cold below 40 degrees very well and it gets a bit cool until the furnace finally kicks in at freezing or below outside.
