Can Furrion Chill Two AC System Integrate with Furnace and Use Two Temp Sensors

Question:

I currently run 2 Dometic Duo Therms with Heat Pumps and can change the mode on my thermostat between cool, heat pump and furnace in 2 zones. Can I do the same with the Furrion Thermostat? I know the Furrion does not have a heat pump, but can you put a heat strip in the unit? If the Furrion thermostat does not offer 3 modes can I run my Aqua Hot furnace in the heat mode instead using the heat strip? Also, I have a room temp sensor in the bedroom, can it be connected to the thermostat? Looking at the print of the multizone thermostat it looks like it can do it all.

The Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR67FJ covers everything you mentioned except the heat pump at this time as Furrion does not offer a heat pump or strip. We've heard that they are coming out with one soon so hopefully we have that you can add later. This does allow the integration of a furnace into the thermostat so it will still work great with your Aqua Hot furnace.

This comes with a second temperature sensor as well that you could put in the second room so that the unit will know what's going on for both AC units to function properly. I'd recommend using the sensors that come with this kit though and not trying to use the sensors from your old setup.
