That works, no radiant heat though. You can get an electric fireplace in some RV's, also known as an electric fake flame space heater if that trips your trigger. In my case, it don't. Your version is much cheaper and does the same thing.

So Tim, I assume that couch pulls out into a bed, since you're going to be sleeping on it.:B

Many have them. They are electric heaters usually 1500 watt that puts out heat along with the fake flames to look at. It is probably just a bit cozier than yours. We use an electric heater when it's chilly, so might as well be one that looks like a fire burning.

New 5er has the electric fireplace. Didn't think I'd ever care for it, but the camper came with it. I still don't care about the fake fire, but the heat it puts out is pretty nice. It takes the initial chill off and keeps the furnace from running so much. Now, when it gets really cold, that will prove how truly functional it is. Although, the label on it says it's designed to heat 500 square feet (approximately 22x22 feet), that I'd like to see when it's zero degrees outside.For the OP, nice modification there! Good job!

Up until today I've been driveway camping. My 2010 camper has double opposing slides in the rear and came with an electric fireplace. I've been using it every day. I keep the furnace set on 65 deg for when it gets colder at night.That all ended today once I winterized the camper. I figured today was going to be the last 60 deg. day we have this year so it was time to winterize and close up for the season.RV electric fireplaces are reasonably priced, readily available and fairly easy to install. So, if you have a place in the camper to put it make the wife happy and go for it.

Just bought this one today for the camper. Fits beautifully under the window and has a 1000 watt and a 1500 watt setting that can be run singularly or together giving you three heat settings. 1000w, 1500w, 2500w. Fireplace can be run without the heat also.

So - when one is boondocking but can still get cellular service - what cellular plan does one use that makes possible hour after hour of streaming video ... that a mere non-billionaire mortal can afford? ;)
I think that would be a resident program, like a screensaver, not streamed.

A few years ago I purchased a Christmas gift for a "young lady" I know.
(I am going to skip a bunch of stuff)

Well when it came time to set up Windows 10 on it I got her to enter her windows password and installed the Free Fireplace App. She heard it crackling and popping and finally looked and saw it... Her reaction was .. Well let's say it was well worth the cost and effort :).

Well the story does not end there.
She had to get up and do something elsewhere in the house. Left it running as a screen saver and when she got back her Cats were Cueled up in front of the "Fireplace"..

As I said. WELL Worth the effort

Nope... The cat sleeps on it. We have a class C with a bed in the back.

We have this one at home.

It has a heater and plays fireplace "crackles".
