Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a hydronic heating system utilized to heat a mobile living unit. The mobile living unit may include a bottom floor and a raised floor separated by a conditioned basement which funnels cold air from the conditioned basement through a convector. The convector heats the air causing the air to rise through the walls in the mobile living unit. The warm air is then released out through one or more vents in the walls into the interior living space of the mobile living unit.
