If you are camping at electric hookup sites using the pedestal 20AMP service receptacle just for the Electric heater. I run an extension cord into my trailer for this thru the pass thru storage area.
I am NOT a fan of any electric heater that has visible flame-red hot core- built-in fan etc. With kids and animals around this could be disastrous.
Heat is heat... We feel very safe using the radiator looking type OIL-FILLED electric heaters and usually only set them for #3 on their setting scale. I would NEVER turn one all the way up as the electric cord will most likely get hot on you.
The OIL-FILLED heater makes only a click - no other noise - no burnt smell- safe to touch.. Safe to leave unattended...

We love the small low profile size - perfect for sitting one of those O2COOL AC/DC 10-inch fan behind one if you want to move the heated air around alittle better. I use AMAZON for almost all my purchases - free shipping and usually two day service for me with close by shipping locations.

NOTE: Its always better to use the camp ground electric over your propane gas when you can. Makes sense to me...
