Hydronic Heating

[Magnet18]

Hi all,
My wife and I full time in our '83 310 class A motorhome

We will probably be in the Midwest until AT LEAST the end of the calendar year
Before winter comes around, I plan to insulate the floor from underneath, (motorhome, easy) and also install a heated floor. (In addition to electric heaters on all the potentially freezy water systems)

I have seen a lot of talk about electric radiant heat installs, but not as much about doing a hydronic heat install, other than I have seen it done on a couple high dollar renovations.
Apparently a company called aqua-hot makes hydronic heaters specifically for RV use, but I can't find a whole lot of information or feedback on them, has anyone used them? Does anyone have more information?

Seems like it could be a good way to boondock or provide an additional kick of heat during the winter, but I could see it being a pain to install if you have a belly pan to deal with

This is the system that has piqued my interest

My concern would be, how much propane is this thing going to chug through to heat a floor?

Of course, energy conservation says it should be at least as efficient as the furnace, hopefully quite a bit more.

I’m interested too. This looks like the Alde system. We had an Alde in our T@B and found it to be great heat. Quite and dry. I’d love to hear about anyone having done a retrofit on a trailer!
