So, Are Heat Pumps a Product of the Devil???

My experience with heat pumps is pretty limited. I stayed with a relative once, back in the '80's, that heated their home with a heat pump. The house always seemed to be cool, although warmer than the outside temperature.

Our current house has a combination unit, both conventional gas heat and a heat pump. In the winter, we notice that the unit will blow cold air for a while, actually lowering the inside temperature by 3 or 4 degrees before it switches over and starts heating with gas.

With all that said, my question is this:

With the air conditioner units equipped with heat pumps in the fifth wheels, do they really warm the camper, or do they tend to be a bit cool?

We are considering a DRV Mobile Suites and after this current cold spell here in Central Oklahoma, I'm wondering whether I want to spend the extra for the heat pumps on both units.

Any help and advice that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.
