How, exactly, do you think a car is heated? It isn't magic. Hot water generated by the running automobile engine is diverted to a heater radiator in the dash. Air is forced over it, and into the car.
That sounds like pretty expensive heat, if the engine were being run just to heat the car.
By tlhe way, every RV out there, be it, Class B, Class A, Class C, TT or 5th wheel, is heated the same way. If not on electric grid, it's either working off a generator, or using a propane heater.

The goal of this would be avoid gasoline costs. It would cost more in gasoline to heat a small crummy looking camper van with a generator than to rent a 5000 square foot house per month. Connecting land to a power line has very high initial costs and solar panels are both ineffective with very high initial costs. RV parks with power lines charge as much rent as an apartment. So I thought that unless some genius figured out a way to stop you one should be able to heat a class b camper van the same way they heat a car. Can they? If not why would anyone buy a class-b camper van.
