Note that the electric heater won't do much of a job keeping the service bay warm. Many motor homes ( I think Bounder is one) divert some hot air from the furnace into the service bay and maybe others to keep them from freezing.
Winnebago says their motor homes are good down to 20 degrees overnight with the furnace set at 70 degrees.
I have a small ceramic cube heater in the service bay set at 40 degrees. I have overnighted down to 9 degrees with no problem.
You can buy a Stay a While Tee ( made by Mr Heater- Marshall Brass makes a similar product - Extend a Stay - I think) that connects between your RV propane tank and regulator. It has a hose that connects with an external propane tank/bottle that you can take to a propane fill station and not have to move the RV. I use a 40 pounder but many people use a smaller 20 pounder.
