[VAL] Dr J? a question about heating

["Tom" <thomm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just thinking and wondering here ---

Buildings still use baseboard heating with hot water running in the 'veins' 
of the system.  IF you were to set up some copper pipes that would transmit 
their warmth to the airspace, couldn't the same thing be done for any RV or 
trailer?

I'm thinking that this would work and be very *economical* to use if it's 
powered by electricity provided by the campground's power supply.  You would 
be able to have a sealed system to which the RV anti-freeze could be added 
so that a heating system like this would not freeze unless you don't have 
enough anti-freeze added so it can survive in the Arctic.  I don't know of 
anyone that would camp in the Arctic in an Airstream but then again I don't 
know everyone in the world either. ;)

Dr J, what do you think of a sealed,  baseboard heating system like this 
perhaps "powered" by a small electric water heater running off of AC power? 
Would it work?
