It really comes down to aesthetics and convenience and available space. The built-in fireplace is more convenient as all you have to do is flip a switch. It takes up interior storage space and in many RV's that is already in short supply.
A portable unit can be pulled out and plugged in as needed and put in an outside storage space when it is not needed. It can be smaller and take less space and we like that we can heat up only a part of the camper.
I would expect that the majority of RV fireplaces are installed in large 5th wheel trailers and few in other types of RV's.
