My first choice is radiant heaters, however, those need to be carefully placed. My next choice is oil filled which are about the safest of all the electric heaters. I love my electric heated carpets.
If I were to start over, I'd get baseboard heaters and run them along outside walls.
I do heat 100% electrically if I have a sufficient power supply. To the OEM 30 amp shore power, I've added 20 amp and 15 amp. I have run up to 7000 watts.
I chose to replace the return air grill on the furnace with dual window fans--that solved water freeze up problems and pushes a small amount of air through the ducts.
I've camped at -37 c (-34 f).
