We have always used just the propane heat and it has been great. On a cold weekend you can go through a tank or so. We were out in early Oct and it was in the 20's at night. On our last trip of the year we did buy an electric heater to try it out. During the day we ran just the electric on about 2/3 power or 1,000 watts and it maintained the 35 foot trailer very nicely. At night we went back to the propane as we were not sure how cold it might get.
The heater we bought is the oil filled radiator type and it was great. I am deathly afraid of all those types that have some type of heating coil that turns red when on as when you are in a confined space if anything ever fell one it, I would not want to be in the trailer.
