....HEATED FLOORS!!!!We are parked where the high yesterday was 26 degrees. Today going just above freezing, lows in the low 20's.If you are ordering or looking at a coach with heated floors, it's a must if offered. (if you enjoy winter camping).We've never had them before and I'm amazed at how well they work to maintain temp. While traveling across the country, the low fell into the low 40's maybe upper 30's, the heated floors maintained 65 degrees inside (we have a wood floor).At the current chilling temps, I have the two built-in electric heaters on (not on high) and the heated floors. The inside of the coach was 81 degrees. I had turned on the diesel furnace just as a back up but turned it off as it's not needed while connected to electric.I just wanted to share our 'heated floor' experience as I've not heard many people mention it. A lot of upper mid and upper end coaches offer it since these coaches will have a hard surface floor.Safe travels,MM.

For now, I'll take the red velvet cake....When we upgrade to a new coach in a few years, that is my must have as well....I've had to do winter camping and the coach has done well in low 20's temps with no issues and the right precautions...I have that fireplace which supplements the heat and it helps keep the living room tile to where you can walk on it. What about putting a heated steering wheel on that British television set of yours?..that would make it stand out..Glad to hear your new toy is doing well....I just bit the bullet on tires/batteries..so I'm good for a bit...

Mark I would agree it is a wonderful feature. We had our Allure for nearly one year before we really tried the heated floor. We just did not see how it would make a difference but indeed it does.

I think Mr. Mark is trying to make us jealous. He has succeeded. Our Dynasty has the big aqua hot but cold floors.Moisheh

It is something that can be added to most any coach. Many people have replaced their carpet with a solid floor. They make heating pads that come in different sizes and shapes that you can put down below the new floor while you are doing it. Not the cheapest but also not that expensive for a do-it-yourself owner.

2 RED VELVET CAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can have both. Just gimme the big apple pie from Costco's.

I no longer travel to places where you need to heat the floor. My two roof heat pumps(ducted), and occasionally a couple of small electric box heaters, and once in a blue moon,......the floor furnace.

My house has electric radiant heat in the ceilings (every room) on a separate thermostat. Lived in an apartment once that had heated floors. I will admit, I did not like it.

What's better than Red Velvet Cake? How about Swiss Miss Chocolate mix, mixed with real hot milk (not water), add 4 heaping teaspoons of a non-flavored coffee creamer, and drop in 3 Hershey Kisses! Now, mix well, then add Redi-Whip cream on top. You'll think you just died when you taste that! ... well ... maybe you will. Sure beats the Red Velvet Cake!

DutchmenSport, I think you are on to something, that dessert sounds delicious!

My sister and her husband had radiant heat in their house in Nashville back in the mid 70's (sold it in '80).... anyway, I never understood why they would would put heat in the ceiling when heat rises?
