For those with the aqua hot systems in lieu of standard furnace and HW tank, are they all their are cracked up to be, or are they possibly another blunder like basement AC?Trying to move into a Class A, and there aren't too many choices for heat, but there are still some choices. We toured one the other day with Aqua Hot and the roof heat pump seamed to be doing most the work, but I may not have had everything set correctly.Do they keep it warm all season, or are you finding you have to supplement with electric heat appliances?

I have an older Aquahot system in my 2001 Beaver Coach and like it. It is a radiant type heat so it heats quickly and quietly. I use it for both heat and for my hot water for showers and hot water. They are expensive systems and parts are not cheap. I have trouble shot mine a few times and repaired some issues. Also I do the yearly maintenance myself.

Blunder? Agua Hot and Hydra Hot have been around far longer than basement air in MH's, it was just under a different name such as Vehicle Systems, Webasto etc etc. My coach has the Webasto and it still functions as designed and still serviced by Aqua Hot(same parts).On edit....Mine works as described above. If and when I use it, no additional heating source is necessary!

A roof air heat pump is only good down to around 40 degrees or so then you need propane., electric heater or diesel heat.

Yes, they are all they're cracked up to be.We use ours on 120 VAC 90% of the time and only turn on the diesel when it's either colder than 55 outside or for showers. Our other coach had a Hurricane system which is simply a different Hydronic heating system but worked very well.For us, a Hydronic heating system, regardless of the make, would be on the absolute must have list.They do take some $$$$ for maintenance but worth every penny.

What is the maintenance associated with them? Cleaning?
