Can someone help us understand how the heat/AC works in our 2012. We aren't sure which wall mounted thermostat controls which unit and what the units run on. Gas, battery, or plugged in? I have attached images of what the thermostats and units look like. Thanks

It also looks like you have a forced air furnace. That unit is hidden inside the lower cabinetry.
The cool cat is a heat pump, and is capable of both heating and cooling the cabin. It runs exclusively on 120v power, and you must be connected to shore power or have a generator connected. It is controlled by the Dometic panel in the bottom of the photo.
The forced air furnace requires propane and 12v (which can also be provided by shore power). It is heat only, and is controlled by the Atwood control on the top of the photo.
Theoretically you could run both devices simultaneously but the cabin is small enough that either device would heat just fine independently. For winter camping the forced air is more effective. The cool cat is good for the other 3 seasons.
I hope this helps.

I don't have the heat pum, only the furnace. Works well. The temperature control is a bit crude, but you'll get the hang of it.....Works well.
