Default AC/heat pump

looking to put one in my 24' ATC trailer. pre-wired and framed. Heat pump is just to take the edge off on those early March mornings. Any advice appreciated. Local place sells Advent, saw Atwood on line, as well as more expensive Coleman, etc. Running mostly off shore line, but generator when necessary.

What's reliable, what to avoid? Thanks.

The Coleman line (and probably the other RV Heat Pumps) don't have defrost capability, so they shut down when the outside temp drops below 40 - 45F. You can get an electric heat strip as an extra which will come on in its place, but that's only about 5000 BTUs.

Thanks. Hope there won't be too many sub 40 degree days, but even a little heat at 50-60 would be nice.

Any wisdom about brands, size? Anyone?
