I too use the OIL FILLED electric heaters when on shore power.
I found the LOW PROFILE type that are only around 17-inches tall. They are also perfect sitting on the floor and placing one of those AC/DC O-2-COOL fans behind them if you want to blow aorund the heat some... Perfect match haha...

When at camp ground shore power we like to run an extension into the trailer from the campground 20AMP service just for the electric heater. Doesn't take away any current from the 30AMP side...
