newbie with Montana 3711FL has questions

HI - spent our first night in our 2017 3711FL this past weekend. The RV will be permanently parked on a lot we have in a RV HOA community. We have some model specific questions.
First, on the control panel there are switches running left to right for 3 tank heaters.
There are no labels telling us which tank each of these heat. Does anyone know - for example the answer I'm looking for is left switch heats this tank, middle switch heats this one, right switch this tank.
Next, we have a heat pump with dual zone AC/heat. How is the heat pump turned on? What area does it actually heat? We set both thermostats to heat and selected 68 degrees for each. In one night - it got down in the high 20s (unusual for North Georgia) - with the fireplace also set at 68 degrees, we used 3/4 of one of the propane tanks.
We will be spending weekends in the RV so have not winterized it. Any recommendations on how to store without winterizing it, but still avoid freezing issues? Our inlet hose and spigot are both heated.
Finally, t appears the DVD player in the audio visual system is defective. - it won't accept any DVDs. I already tried the eject button - there is nothing currently in there. Bummer unless anyone knows a quick fix.

Thanks in advance!

The Heat pump is controlled on you thermostat and labeled HP. Note, it only works in 1 zone, not both zones. Cool, Heat & HP in 1 zone and Cool & Heat in the other zone. Don't know about the tank heat strips.

Thanks! I don't recall seeing "HP" but will double check.

The first time I used the heat pump I had the a/c running in 1 zone and heat pump running in the other zone.
