For me where our winters are not all that severe I truly think I could survive just fine with a simple HYDRONIC setup using my hot water heater only and just get rid of the PROPANE Furnace with the very loud blower setup... My propane runs us out of oour trailer - way too much heat to regulate.
One of my RV NET friends did this already is his small footprint floorplan trailer and worked like a champ in the Colo mtns.
I probably would feed my hot water through one of these AQUA HOT water heaters that has muffin type axial fans installed in it...
You could route some pex lines around the living space and use some of these wall board type heat registers
Your only problems would be to keep the hot water "hot" using propane or electric elements and the DC current drain of the 12VDC muffin type fans.
Been wanting to experiment with this idea but have never made time for it yet..
