The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box, Start Capacitor, and Heat Strip part # ACM150CH offers the heat strip. However it will not switch automatically between the heat and air conditioning. It is designed for you to choose what you want and let it heat or cool appropriately.

The Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump part # AT15033-22 will allow you to set a specific temperature and can be set to be non ducted simply be sliding a vent open and closed. However like all RV A/C units I have worked with do not automatically switch between heat and A/C. Very similar to a lot of houses you need to choose whether the heat or air is turned on and it will take over from there for you.
