Electric heater vs using furnace in fall?
Need advice from experienced campers since wife and I only started this year and have camped only 10 nights due to P/T job getting in the way after retiring....We have a 2014 Keystone Bullet 285 RLS T...

I NEVER use the furnace in my MH.
Uses too much propane. Blower is too loud. And depending on the wind the exhaust manages to still get inside the RV.
One good ceramic heater keeps my 31 foot toasty even in really cold temps.
The KEY in an RV is too make sure you keep the cold air OUT.
Put Pillow vent covers inside ALL your roof vents. This is where ALL the cold air comes in and your heat goes out.
1. The lid to your roof vents is nothing more than a cheap plastic NON sealing lid. You need to cover them in cold weather AND hot weather when using the ac or heat.
2. And I found out that a lot of cold comes in from under the door.:R I just throw a towel along the bottom of the door. Makes a big difference.
3. Get caught in REALLY cold temps. You'll need to cover the windows. I found van windshield sunshades (found at walmart) fit perfectly under the day night shades and stay put with out putting tacky velcro strips on your walls. Just Slip them under the shades they rest perfectly right on the window sill part.
Pillow Vent Covers.IMHO A must have for when running the heat or ac.
Windshield sunshades. In case you sleep in, the outside of your RV doesn't look tacky to your neighbors with these nice palm trees in your windows.:W
