Wall furnaces are still made, like this one which is probably too big, but the type was once common in RVs.
I had one in the back extension of my old house, to complement the floor furnace heating heating the original front of the house, but it was eventually replace with a ducted forced air system, to enable whole house air conditioning.
I think there is a reason these are no longer used in RVs, where air supplies are low because of small volumes and a tighter box than formerly. Note that you are suppose to open windows and run a forced air vent, just to use the range, which is a much smaller combustion source than these furnaces, even with all burners going.
