Original plan was on mini on demand propane, but now I have 3 solar water panels. With the solar I hope be able to set it up and let it run automatically without any additional fuel cost. Pumps and fans will be dc solar. For storage I'm thinking 1-2 electric hot water heaters. If we were desperate I can hook one into my generator. Truly its a 50 minute drive from my front door and I won't be out there if its super cold. From other experiences I've found its more fun to arrive and not have to worry about heating up a cold cabin. Before I go outdoor shower I plan on indoor shower, but we'll see.

I'll study up on floor heating. Its not common here, mostly concerned about cooling. Floor insulation isn't even common. A fan coil unit would be easy for me to set up and might be all I need.
