Welcome to the forum.
More information would be helpful. Are you looking for directions on setting the thermostat or are you looking to add an electric strip heater to the AC unit(s) and converting the propane furnace to electric? You can search the forum as it's been discussed several times but it would help anyone wanting to assists you if you provide the year and model of the trailer as well as the manufacturer and model number of the thermostat, AC unit and furnace you have.

Welcome to the group from Connecticut!

As mentioned above, more info would really help.

My first thoughts are why change. You can always supplement heat with portable electric heaters a lot cheaper than redesigning from scratch. My second concern would be the effect on resale value / appeal of the unit.

Any major non-traditional mod such as this, would also limit the versatility / usability of your camper, as you would always have to hook up to an outlet, or genny.

Good luck,

Well AC is already electric so that is simple. Heat can be updated with a system called Cheap Heat made by RV Comfort Systems. While not cheap to purchase and have installed if you get power cheaply it is a great and safe system.
