Look for a coach with a large enough furnace to get the job done, preferably in the 35,000 to 40,000 BTU range. Count the heat duct outlets and check their location, you'll want at least 4.
Keep in mind that furnace fans are the biggest drain of 12V power in any coach. You will need at least two good sized batteries, Group 27's at the very least and 31's would be better with a couple of Golf Cart batteries being the best. Either enclosed and/or heated tanks will be vital if you are going to be anywhere the temps drop into the mid to low 20's or below.
Also look for a coach with a large fuel and propane tanks. Good luck.
