Gimpy, not sure if a hydronic system would pencil out for you being in such a small area? I have only brief knowledge regarding Aqua-Hots and all there uses. However

I am familiar with hydronics in the building trades. There are coaches and even a bus conversions heated by hydronic measures via a Aqua-Hot system so it is being

done. I don't know if Newell has ever done any hydronic systems working in conjunction with the Aqua-Hot or not. Newell Coach does commonly install electric

system, especially with most newer coaches being all electric. I would recommend going pex vs any copper in the floor portion. You will need a barrier underneath the

tubing to prevent heat escape to the basement which you may already have, you could channel the pex in the sub-floor and sheet aluminum over it or another

material and then install your surface flooring.


Hopefully this is somewhat helpful.
