HI,
Have you considered a Olympic catalytic heater? I have one that keeps my 30' Bounder toasty warm at 30F and I only need to run the furnace a little bit at 19F outside to keep it around 70 inside. .
Sure I need to keep the roof vents open a little bit, and the kitchen window open about 1/2", and some cold air will come in all the time, but the 6,000 Btu's of constant heat avoids having the furnace cycle on all the time, as it is constant heat and no fan noise or power consumed. Mine is portable, and plugs into a low pressure gas fitting under my oven. I installed it with a tee going to the oven gas supply.
If you want a outside vented heater, then the Platinum heater has a exhaust fan for the propane fumes, but basically works the same..
Good luck,
Fred.
