In our HTT we used a ceramic heater - somewhat taller than wide and it oscillates....did a fine job sitting on a cabinet near our bunkend. We tried the same heater in the bathroom/bedroom area in the TT and just didn't feel like it warmed the trailer enough. We rarely camp when it's below freezing for more than just a few hours overnight. We are finding that the propane furnace has a warmer feel to it and even though it's not terribly cost effective, no more than we use it, it's better for us.
As I understand, the ceramic is safer since it's just warm to the touch vs an exposed coil one which could cause serious burns. No experience with the oil type. Speaking of burns.....if you have small ones, be sure to get the wire screen to cover the furnace outlet outside the trailer. Those can get very hot and have been known to cause nasty burns.
