Radiant floor heat wll help take the chill off and keep your feet warm in cool weather, but when it's cold outside I prefer using the AquaHot dual heating system. Generally speaking floor heat is not very good at controlling room temperatures at a comfortable level, due to thermostat placement.
When using shore power, especially at campgrounds, I often turn the AquaHot diesel portion off if it is not too cold, and use the Newell proprietary 220 volt 6400 watt electric heating elements. In the morning I normally leave the electric and the diesel on for an hour or so for the endless hot water they provide.
For additonal heat most Newell's also have one to three electric 'toe-kick' heaters that are useful for supplemetal heat in very cold tempertures, or stand-alone in cool weather.
I do not care for the noise and drafts created by the roof top heat pumps, and very seldom use them.
