Thanks for all the feedback. When looking at new RV's we asked about heating. We were told that you would use the heated tile floor (provided you had that option) and the electric fireplace with a blower. They do have aqua Hot for water heater. I would like to know if anyone has been in cold weather and if this heating is sufficient to keep coach warm? We know from experience that the heat pumps are not efficient in cold weather but we have our propane heaters to keep warm.
Thanks again.
Just a week and a half ago we drove through Santa Rosa and Gallup, NM. The temps in Santa Rosa fell to 21 degrees and 8 degrees in Gallup. We were toasty warm with the heated floors, electric tow-kick heaters and the 83,000 BTU Webasto on as a back-up.
All the bays stayed warm too. We were not connected to shore water as we had a full tank of fresh water to use. I did top off the fresh water on departure, the spigots were wrapped in insulation and heated.
The battery died in the Honda on that 8 degree morning so I got a jump from the maintenance man (battery was 3 yrs. old)..... drove to AutoZone where they popped in a new one.
I also had the engine block heater on in the coach.... easy start up.
MM.
