I 'used' to use the oil filled heaters.
After a few hours, running check the plug, you might change your mind using it in a MH. And more so if you are using an extension cord with it. The plug and cord get dangerously hot. This doesn't happen with the ceramic heaters. I switched to ceramic for that reason and actually found out IMHO it heated my coach far better.
A side note to those in Florida.
Depending where you are at and what power company is there: Because Florida rarely has cold temps what I found out was when night falls on an unusually cold night they brown out the electric so as to have enough for all for the high demand of unexpected usage.
I called RV repair out to check out my electric because of the unusual hot cords I was experiencing thru out the coach. He was the one that informed me of the brown outs. Inadequate power to a heating appliance is the kiss of death.
Picked up a cheap meter to monitor it and he was right on about the power being "supplied" to my coach at night dropped well below acceptable for using a heater. :(
