not sure what you mean by swap?
they only run on shore power or a generator. even with an inverter and a bank of batteries, it'd eat up the battery power pretty quickly.
a ceramic heater or oil-filled heater are just options when you have electric hookups to supplement your propane furnace.

That makes sense. I somehow misunderstood.
In that case, it won't help us much at all. We dry camp most of the time.
I was just going by his original post which stated he had electric. I agree that ceramic heaters are only useful when you have hookups, but they are invaluable for times when you do. Not only will they save your propane, but also eliminates any chance of carbon monoxide poisoning from the furnace should it have a problem.
They can be purchased at any store such as Target for less thaan $20 and will pay for themselves quickly.
