Depends how well insulated is your camper,
Geting bigger heater then you need is no problem,these heaters have Thermostat so you can turn it to lower heat.

its a 1991 slumberqueen 10 foot. how big is your camper?
I think the issue with going to big though, is the most economical way to run them is so they stay on low all night and don't turn on or off as the glow plug uses most of the power, and when they are on low the fan is the quietest and uses the least power.
I wasnt thinking of camping in -20 but night time lows to -5 or so , so ya not to far off, and I was planing on adding some foam insulation to the bottom box of the camper.
