Aside from the obvious and probably some unexpected costs and challenges of installation, you’re burning a ton of electricity. Let’s not pretend a hydronic system is even remotely feasible.
Best option for heated floors is a his n hers pair of heated socks or slippers….

True, but if you have power (not generator or battery) a heated floor mat and a couple of 1500W heaters would definitely keep a 20+' RV warm down to freezing !

Heated mattress pads and a extra blanket worked better than an electric blanket.
If you are really "roughing it" and sleeping with no heat, a knit hat makes a huge difference (old Boy Scout lesson learned)!

My peak load was 7100 watts and the average was 4300 watts per hour when temperatures were in the area of -37 c (-34 f). That works out to about 103 kwh per 24 hour day.
To do so I had two auxiliary shore power cords (15 and 20 amp). I used an autoformer on the OEM 30 amp to support the voltage.
