I have been contemplating abandoning the noisy propane heater in my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer for some time now. It is way too big for my small foot print trailer and a couple of others have come up with a pretty simply hydronic system to replace it with...
This is the basic concept

I would come up with something like this to produce heat from my on-board hot water heater.

I would probably use this heat exchanger with 12VDC axial fan blowers.

Here is a couple of google photos where something similar was built up in small floor plan TT trailer.

I believe this would be just the thing for my small one room POPUP trailer layout.
A bigger trailer you could run several zones using the same idea.
