Hey Daisy -

actually, since i don't plan on doing much dry-camping in the Trailwind rig, 
I'd be more inclined to use the 'WarmlyYours' electric radiant floor 
system - i've installed it under ceramic tile in two bathrooms (in my 
house), and it's extremely efficient. However, it's supposed to be imbedded 
in thinset mortar, which isn't in the cards for a trailer. I'm thinking the 
thin foam underlayment used under laminate flooring - maybe two layers - 
would do the trick under the cork flooring; or maybe a flexible mastic with 
a thin plywood or masonite layer on top, with the cork floor 'floating' on 
top of that...

the weight of the water in the radiant/hydronic floor system would be 
negligible, i think, since there's not much floor-space that needs heating 
in a 19' trailer... but there's the matter of heating it, circulating it, 
and returning it to the water storage - not difficult with a PEX system and 
manifold, and it would work in an off-the-grid, propane/battery only 
situation.
