nothing like warm feet in the morning. Can set the temp to over 100

entire apt. Very nice indeed. If your feet are warn the air temp doesn't
seem to much matter. I am going to replace the tiles in my kitchen and
bath on my coach, I will place electric heating mats on the floor before
the tiles go in. I'm not sure of the draw on the electric system in your
coach, but as with any 120V heating system, it is power hungry. There
are also hydronic units that use antifreeze in pipes that are laid on
the floor under the tiles. They use a special plastic pipe, The problem
you may run into is the thickness of these pipes. If you can over come
this, then you would have unlimited heat if you could run the system
through your engine. I heard of these systems in some of the other
custom coaches, (PREVOST). So I know it can be

goes.
