Some big rigs may have a HYRDONIC heater setup that uses your HOT WATER to make heat coming thru different zones of wall mounted heat registers.
Heating of the hot water can be PROPANE-ELECTRIC-BATTERY.
I have seen a simplified setup using the same idea for smaller campers...
We for one hate to listen to the OEM Furnace noisy FAN MOTOR haha... Wakes me up at night everytime it turns on... Been thinking about building up a hydronic setup for my off-road POPUP to replace my loud FURNACE/FAN setup...
HYDRONIC CONCEPT

My setup for one heater register might look something like this idea...

AQUA HOT sells one of these HOT water registers with 12VDC fans etc

This is what one guys setup looks like is his small TT trailer
