Build your own Water Heater / Furnace Unit?
I know there are newer campers that have combined water heater / furnace units but they are pricey and not necessarily an easy drop in unit. It got me to thinking that it would be an interesting exper...

I think your proposed solution will not transfer enough heat. You would probably need a heat exchanger to transfer enough energy from the water tank to your heating circuit.
Also, how much energy (BTUs) does the water heater deliver? Will that be enough heat for the camper?
Someone with more engineering knowledge than myself should be able to do some calculations on the energy needed to be transferred and the necessary surface areas.
I would also consider moving away from a hot air heater towards a water filled radiator system like Alde.
