1) I would say Tile the entire damn coach...front to rear....2nd im not a fan of hydronic heat... its unnecessarily complicated and replacement/repair parts are EXPENSIVE...if that systems dies you lose a lot of stuff - hot water, heat etc.

hydronic systems cant recover fast enough on electric so you're forced to burn diesel fuel even in the best camp grounds...

Oh and they take up basement storage and have ton plumbing lines.

if its REALLY cold, we use space heaters or the propane fired heater (its rare) but fuel consumption is minimal.

Our 10 gallon Suburban (gas/electric) water heater does very well....we have had back to back showers (including 3 kids) and not run out of water - true theyre not unlimited hotter - but neither are there size of our tanks. The water heater can be run entirely on electric - and able to keep up, even with a long shower.

we use some luxuriously thick throw rugs outside the shower, even in the summer.
