Is there a problem with electric Heater VS. Propane?

I was wondering if there is any difference in using an electric heater versus the Propane heat? We will be staying where it may dip slightly below freezing at night but up into the 60's during the day...

We use a Vornado electric heater all of the time to heat down to around freezing then we might need the trailer furnace a little. I wouldn't worry about stuff freezing until it gets down into the 20's and stays there awhile. The 1st to freeze is the hose to the city water and the tank dump valves and the furnace won't protect those.
