Gil,
Thank you. One thing we do not want to do is miss the important things we would need to have checked out.
I see some Coaches with baseboard heat. Know nothing about how it functions. Is it something to stay away from?
Thanks Gil

Heating sources include heat pumps, heat strips, baseboard heat and Webasto/Aqua-Hot. Heat strips and baseboard heat are resistive heating sources and tend to use a good amount of power. Baseboard and Webasto/Aqua-Hot heat are both located where heat should be, at the floor. Heat pumps are temperature limited. Below 25-30 degrees they don't produce much heat, below that they don't work.

There's nothing wrong with any of these sources. Almost all, if not all, have Webasto/Aqua-Hot and one other heating source. Unless it's just a chill I'm getting rid of I use the Webasto/Aqua-Hot.

We love our Marathon. I've owned it since 2007 and would buy another. Marathon tech support has been outstanding.
