That's pretty good insulation IMO.
That's how Nexus builds them. When building the walls they use Azdel, lots of foam and multiple layers that are all vacuum bonded then the openings for the windows etc., get cut in. Clearly a 35K BTU furnace is overkill for a 24' coach but with four duct openings down low scattered throughout the coach it is efficient in that it simple does not have to run much which saves on the squirrel cage fan DC consumption when we are off of the grid {about 70% of the time}.
It is about 34 outside with a light snowfall and not much wind. This is one of the few times I have ever bothered to turn the tank heaters on. The switch lights up so I know it has power. They don't need to provide much warmth to get the job done and I see the DC consumption climb when they are activated so have to assume they are functioning.
As far as electrical heat I have a small unit that works well, I tested it before this trip and then left it on my workbench at home.
