Best of Luck,
I think that depends on where in MD. We lived on top of the mountain and it wasn't uncommon to wake up to 0 or even negative temps in Jan and Feb.
To the OP - as others have stated, understanding why you want to achieve a certain temp and what means of heat you have are things needed to know. I would agree that a small heater set to 35-36 with a temp monitor in the coach as well as the wet bays would be a start. But is there a reason you want it heated all winter? Otherwise 10 minutes to drain the lines and fill with RV antifreeze allows you forgo any heat source and mitigate worry about anything freezing.
As for the lightbulb, I think that's referred to for wet bays only. Not an application to keep the entire coach above freezing.
A light bulb on a thermocube plug is cheap and easy.
Note here that I was referring to the Temperature inside the Coach - outside might get down to around 10 degrees for a few days each winter.My reason for keeping heater is to be able to leave the RV stocked and ready to go. - :)
