We use out TC for skiing quite a bit.So we use our ceramic as a heat source when we can plug in.Sometimes both.Coldest we have ever been out in was about -40c with both going center of rv was barely 20c.Frost in the corners mattress frozen to the overhead.Luckily only a couple of days before it warmed up to reasonable.What kind of electric heaters do you use when plugged in.Sure glad our heater is old school gravity furnace.

For really cold weather the propane furnace is the primary heat. You can supplement a bit with an electric heater but the electical system puts a limit on how much you can provide.

We've been down to -15C and able to hold 20C inside.

We have found the oil filled radiators work the best. Have wintered in our 40' fifth wheel with out using the furnace. Had 2 in the living room and one small ceramic in the basement on a thermostat set at 50*. While we did not experience the temps you did, we did see 7* with a -22 wind chill.

if you want intense heat aimed at you, and no not the wife, one of those parabolic dishes will warm you up. won't warm up an area like the others however.

A winter skier also. We use ceramic electric ones, one in the camper living area, a 700 watt car warmer in the water tank area and another in the dump valve area. We use the full water system most of the time but have frozen up without power. We also have a wave3 propane, a must to boondock.

I like the old fashion milk house heater. My wife works as a pretty good heater as well!
