I use oil filled heaters.  But in addition they are plugged in thru a remote thermostat, a Lux WIN100 unit.  With it's own temp sensor at the outlet rather than at the heater, it is much more accurate at controlling temp.  I can set the A/C at 5 degrees higher than the heater.  When I leave the trailer in the morning, the heater will be running.  When I return in the afternoon, the heater will be stone cold and the A/C may be running if afternoon temps really heat up.
Oil filled heaters have a steady heat output so less temp variation in the coach and since the heating element doesn't experience as much thermal shock, it should be less likely to fail.
