Good eye, yes, it is. This coach has been more prepared for cold than for heat! I "only" have 3 ceiling ACs (they worked great by the way) but have like 7 pieces of equipment to generate heat!
2 in the bedroom, electric ones.
1 electric in the front, the one you just saw.
3 propane furnaces, one under the dinette, one under the sofa
1 In the closet section.
(not to mention the one in the basement for the water pipes, fuel, etc.)
I think I really need to go to a place where is REALLY cold so I can appreciate that much equipment for really cold climates!

Floor looks great.
When you get ready to rewallpaper, you will find that if you paper with wallpaper liner first, then the wallpaper, that it will cover many of the imperfections in the plywood wall.

Thank you!
That is a good idea, thanks!!
There are minor imperfections (from the photos looks much worst than what really is) is mostly holes and the previous glue that we need to light sand.

Does yours also have a heater core under the bed to keep things toasty while underway ?
As for the baseboard heat in the bedroom, those will definitely chase the cold away - I don't think you need to close the windows if those are on !

Thank you! That is a good idea, I'll add them as soon as we are done. Yesterday we finished the bathroom and dinette area, we are working on the front seats section and we are going to close that area and we will be done with the flooring!

Yes it does, I've found it in the worst way, heard a hissing noise when I was bring in her back home and thought that it was a air leak somewhere in the back of the coach until I get to the bed and hear the fan running

so is 8 heating units in the coach!
The ones in the bedroom, the electric ones, look that they will really do their job!
