Heating and Cooling
Thermostat
The thermostat is located above the rear bed. It controls the heating and cooling in the vehicle. This single thermostat
controls both the electric heat pump and the propane furnace.
Heat Pump
Heat pump
The heat pump can provide both heating and cooling for your
Roadtrek using electric shore power or generator power. The
heat pump gives you the advantage of heating your unit with
electricity if you would prefer to use electricity rather than the
propane the furnace uses.
The heat pump can be operated normally when you are plugged
in to shore power.
If you are running the heat pump using the generator, please
follow the following steps.
• Set the battery disconnect switch on the monitor panel to the
“ON” position.
•• Start the generator and run for several minutes until warm.
•• Set thermostat setting above ambient temperature.
• Turn thermostat control to the “low cool” position.
•• Turn fan to the ON position.
•• Adjust the thermostat on the unit for the desired temperature.
The compressor should start automatically.
• Your vehicle should be parked as close to level as possible to maximize the air conditioner’s efficiency. If you are parked
very much off-level, it is possible for condensate to leak into the living space. If this happens park in a more level location.
