I'm going to assume that your Winny has a Coleman roof rattler, same as ours. It works but is nowhere as efficient as the new inverter type similar to the one Bernie just retro fitted to his Hino.
You just need to get the biggest one, it suits a 7.5 metre vehicle. I'm also going to assume that yours has a door that isolates the bedroom from the main part of the house, similar to ours. Open or close a couple of ducts and send the heat or the cool where you want.
You could get all that sorted when you do the solar upgrade.
No need for a diesel heater now. Spend the savings on more solar panels.

It has an Ibus4 and 8 ducts in the ceiling, so we open the ones where we need to heat or cooling. If does have a folding door to the bedroom, but Margaret is the one who gets up early, sits in the drivers seat with the window open, so she can have a smoke while playing what ever on her phone, so that is when the heating is required ...... Now it's coming on to summer, I'm guessing the cooling on night mode and just the bedroom ducts blowing on us will be the go ..... that's when we will need the added battery capacity and solar.

The latest idea is, used the MG4 as the toad and use that battery capacity to back up the house batteries over night. This one has 51kwh of LFP battery, so the V2L plugged in to the motorhome and the inverter set to 10 amps in put should do the trick, then plug the granny charger in to recharge the MG4 battery once the solar is in full swing.

Rained here yesterday evening and over night, sun out today, a bit of wind and not near as hot and humid as yesterday when we had full cloud cover for most of the day ....... Dave, I'd be happy if the weeds here died from heat exhaustion, I have a feeling that isn't gunna happen

Good afternoon, 21c beautiful sunshine, just returned from the oral surgeon at Ourimbah arranged to have 2nd back tooth removed later this month, roads were heavy with traffic, long weekend in NSW.

George, your finger is healing good great that you have no long term damage.

My pennant team have made the final, play off next Tuesday at Ettalong against Ettalong, they have won every game so far fingers crossed that they play well, win one more & bring home the flag.

Maybe you need to go up to the hammer store at Murray Bridge and get some Round up and a 9 litre pressure sprayer. Then wait til it isn't windy and spray the beejesus out of them. If you use double the recommended spray strength you should see them looking pretty sad and ordinary in a cuppla days. Don't do it when it windy and don't breath in the spray drift.
When those tall ones are no longer living, collect them up and bin them, otherwise the process will need repeating.

T1, post a pic of the awning, and the top end of the arms. I reckon it will be an AE, which is almost the same as a Dometic.

They are only short and fold up with a cover that seems to lock down over them. There are two of them on the right hand side, I tried Dr Google, but it says there are controls near the door and there are none that I can find on this beast .....

T1, do your window awnings look anything like these?
If yes, get a ladder, lift up the hood over the awning and roll it out by hand. There should be a strap to anchor the windows open. Hook it on and done. If not, still waiting for the pic of what yours look like.

These don't have arms on the sides and the canister lid locks down over the whole roller and what ever is under there. I climbed up the ladder and tried to open the canister lid, but no go, it must be part of the roll out mechanism. I can't even find them on the interweb .... I'll have another look tomorrow and see if I can find a name or model or something
