I recently built a house with radiant floor heat. (Geothermal heat pump, hydronic system.) We absolutely LOVE the floor heat, it is more comfortable than anything else we've ever had. Anyway, I discovered this electric floor heat system, and am considering putting it in the GMC MH. http://www.speedheat.us/ It probably would not be enough heat for any severe weather, but it sure would be nice to have a warm floor. It's actually not that expensive, nor difficult to install.
I should explain that we mostly camp at RV parks where we have full hookups, so electricity is always available and free. Also, our furnace went south a couple years back, and I removed it, and went to a couple small electric heaters at that time. Again, the electricity is free, and the heaters have worked very well. I just think the warm floor would be a nice feature. I also have a wall mounted catalytic heater in case we are off the grid, but I don't like it and I've never needed it. (O2 depletion issues worry me)
So, what do you think, would this floor heat be enough to warm the floor in the coach in 40-50 degree weather??? I'd use two pads, one for the hallway, and one for the larger front area. They go under the carpeting. (We are fully carpeted)

PS: By the way, I don't think I'd ever be able to install a new furnace, as my wife moved stuff into that space right away, and is not about to give it up.
PS/2: I have another heating / cooling idea, but I'll start a different thread for it later on. Think repackaged mini-split.
