My Chevrolet Express van Class B- camper
I have been camping in my 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer 2-door for the last 20 years. When I removed the back seat there was just enough room for a 3/4 sized (Hollywood, as some people called them)...

We camp at State Parks in the winter and they all have electric and we have a real nice 750 to 1500 watt elect heater with a fan and thermostat and it does a good job keeping the van warm.
We also carry a Buddy Heater for backup if the electric went down.
The heating strip in my roof mount AC doesnt heat enough when temp gets near freezing so I carry a quartz 400/800 heater. I am somewhat obsessive about being warm but havent needed it in the van, but, at our campground my husband uses one to heat the trailer since we arent charged for electricity but have to fill our own propane tanks for the furnace. The furnace is noisy as it cycles on and off, the quartz heater is silent.
drsolo,
We have the heat strip on our trailer and it's does a good job.
The portable elect heater that I got to use in the van works great to keep the van warm even down to freezing temps. We don't like keeping in too warm when sleeping so we set the thermostat to around 60, we also have a smoke alarm in the van.
