So I did a little research and found Aries Engineering (503 848 6190), like Dave said, and spoke with their tech desk. He was very familiar with the Gold Heat applications for Country Coach (they also do Prevost Marathon, Newell and Foretravel, so nice crowd...). He gave me some troubleshooting tips, but alas my front heat mat is terminal. Anyway, for you guys if you have problems, he said often times the mat gets wet, and needs some extra help to dry it out. To do so, wire an extension cord to the load wires, plug it in, and see if floor heats up. If it does, let it cook for sometime to dry it out really well. My floor did not heat, so he had me check resistance in mat (10-20 ohms desired). What sunk me was a ground fault test, testing continuity from the white load wire to ground, and I had continuity, so I have a ground fault. They would rent me the tool to find the break under the tile, but I declined. I am not going to rip up tile. My heated floor for galley/bath still works fine, so I am ok. Pretty cool tech desk though, very helpful.
