I had a Newmar American Star fifth wheel and had a run in with a canopy at a motel we had stopped at for a night in 19 degree weather. I went to have a new a/c installed but the dealer only had a heat pump in stock and if I paid the extra over insurance he would put it in. Best thing I ever did, I loved the heat pump, it has saved a lot of propane and the noisy gas heater doesn't have to run nearly as often, if at all. I don't know why the newer trailers or fifth wheels don't offer these from the factory. If they did I would have ordered it with my new 27.5 rlts I'm waiting to come in.
As another has mentioned maybe the thermostat wire has a yellow wire spare that could be used to operate the heat portion of the heat pump. Maybe I'll have another one in the near future.
