Quiet heater that doesn’t drain batteries ?
Hi, I’m new to the RV world, just started making family trips in a new travel trailer (forest river wolf pup). But temperatures are dropping and the heater that came with the camper is horrendously...

I hear you, our propane furnace is pretty loud, and inefficient to boot. When we are boondocking we use one of our remote start gennies to run space heaters for a couple of hours before going to bed and again at dawn. No neighbors to worry about and we are able to get dinner or breakfast ready plus quick charge our battery bank at the same time, all while heating up our rig. Works for us and rig is quite toasty at bedtime, by dawn interior temps are in the fifties, press remote start and fall back to sleep for an hour waking up to a cozy warm rig.
With our TT we can camp in the 20's without our plumbing freezing up, since we are not using propane furnace to divert heat we did wrap tubular pipe insulation around most of our plumbing as we do camp without hookups in cold weather often. We pondered using other interior propane options but had an onboard Onan that easily powers 2 space heaters with room to spare, 5 years ago we added a remote start Champion inverter genny to the mix, powers a single space heater on high for the living/gally area, and another space heater on low for bath/bedroom space.
