"The KEY in an RV is too make sure you keep the cold air OUT."
The problem with sealing up the inside of your RV without some kind of continuous air flow is the fact condensation will form if it's really chilly outside. People have posted on these forums the condensation is so bad in their campers, they've even had drops of water falling from their vents over their bed.
You have to maintain a supply of fresh air in and old out of the camper to keep the condensation away. So this means cold air is coming in, which also means an electric heater by itself may not keep up if your camper is fairly large. And remember, when your slides are out, you have more square footage to heat.
There's a fine balance between keeping a good supply of air breathing through any camper to prevent condensation forming on windows, roof, walls, and keeping it comfortably warm and a heat source that can produce more heat than cold coming in.
