Of course an electric heater running inside an RV is also dry heat in that it does not introduce any additional moisture into the interior.
Our propane furnace, like most of them in late model motorhomes, only recirculates interior air so it too does not introduce any additional moisture into the interior.
I interpreted the main idea of the OP's original post as: "Hey, we can both remove moisture in our RV using it's air conditioner - while at the same time not having to cool it too much to remove this moisture - by periodically heating the RV in between air conditioning sessions."
We do the same thing by running electric heat and air conditioning at the same time with both control settings just about right so as to make and keep the interior both dry and at a comfortable temperature, regardless of the outside temperature and humidity.
