Heated Floors
Do all MHs with the hot water heat systems have heated floors, or is that just a unique feature on some brands? I've heard them talked about but don't see them advertised in the features very much.

- Some of the Gulf Stream TourMaster coaches have what is called Aqua Hot. I believe they use diesel according to one member in our club.

Is the name of the company Aries Engineering..gold heat?- No , all models with hydronic heat , aqua hot etc, do not have heated floors. So if your looking at a model used or new with hydronic heat ( radiators throughout the coach ) not all have floor heating it's a option on some standard on a few. Floor heat can be hydronic but electric is pretty popular. At least that's what we found when we were looking
- We have three zones that cover nearly all 43 feet of coach but they are electric not tied into the water system.

- We have the electric pads under our floors (4 zones). It's amazing how well they maintain temperature. They never feel hot to the touch, maybe just slightly warm but they sure help keep things toasty!
We have wood flooring and it works well. If it's an option, I would suggest it.
MM. - I do have heater hoses going under the mid-floor.
Does that count?
Heating tubing under the floor are easy and cheap, but also have disadvantages.
I read that some truck campers have that kind of heating while using water heater.
Now - having only 1 heater to do all tasks why that sounds inventive? - The ultra luxury models and some mid to high end coaches generally come with them..Entegras all have them regardless of the model...American Coach has it as an option on their coaches as does Newmar...Foretravel has it on the Realm...Thor does not, Winne does not..I use the fireplace and it keeps the tile area forward of the bath so the tile is not ice cold...
- I don't see many of the 100K models with them only the higher priced ones. but I could be wrong. it's just I've never seen one.
