The heat strips are not very effective from what I have read. Get a nice electric heater they are cheaper and can be moved to where they are needed.

I think it depends on how much it is. I personally like them and have them in another non jayco. They are called chill-chasers because they are nice to take the edge off when you dont want to be blasted with hot air. It also moves the stale air and freshens things up.

What do they want for them? $$

mmmm....for $120 if I could do it myself I personally would do it. Wonder if you have a spare wire running to the thermostat? That could be a deal breaker because of the cost and labor involved in trying to run that.
