Hi George,
I had the same questions and came to the conclusion that the overhead noise would not be worth the incremental heat at 40-60 degrees. However, if you do decide you want one, check the units that ave a thermostat that will fire your propane furnace once the temp drops below what the heat pump can handle.

I don't think I'll be doing a lot of cold weather camping, but it would be nice to be able to take the chill off of the evening air some nights.
I guess my main quandry is whether it's worth spending the extra to get a heat pump versus just an AC unit. My understanding is that a heat pump is really nothing more than a reversable air conditioner. Very cold nights could be taken care of by another heating unit (furnace or catalytic heater).
