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...

Hi,

Since there is no enclosed bottom, running propane heat has no advantages.

I prefer to run more than one electric heater with each having lower wattage than a single 1500 watt model.
