In all the writing, only one other person mentioned the fact that the wiring could be a problem. I for one would never (repeat NEVER ) use an electric heater unless I knew for a fact that the outlet I plugged in my heater into was wired without splice and without being downstream of any outlet that had their wires plugged into the outlets. The method of wiring used in most RV's today is vampire connections which keep the wire intack and just bite into the wire to make a connection. This insures integrity but make a very poor connection at the device you are using. I wired a 120 volt 20 amp outlet into the breaker box and it's the only thing on that breaker. I can sleep without the fear of starting the rv on fire because of a bad connection . Remember, most fires in homes are blamed on electrical. A far as the heater you choose, make sure it's UL approved and use some common sense when using it. No fabrics near, solid base, no extension cords. You are limited by code to 1500 watts so how you get that heat is really immaterial.
