I have converted my truck camper to all-electric, but here's my caveat: we enjoy staying in campgrounds and state parks. If we boondock, it's only in temperate weather.
For heat (even when we had a motorhome; and then a 5th wheel) I use a Pelonis digital electric heater. It has a true thermostat, so we can set the temp to 72 degrees and it will keep it there; plus it has tip-over protection that turns it off immediately if it gets bumped. The added bonus: no condensation gets formed. It's dry heat.
Propane furnace is dry heat also. The combustion does not occur inside the living space. It's completely vented via the exhaust pipe.
Though if on shore power, we also supplement with a small electric space heater as they usually don't meter the power and it extends the duration of a tank of propane.
