Efficiency of a furnace is Heat Out / Fuel In.
But thermal efficiency in an RV furnace is really not that important. More important may be noise, fuel availability, AH requirements, installation volume, among others. In my opinion an Espar/Webasto (or better still a Wallas) is a better option than the typical Rv furnace, held back by the need for a separate diesel tank when most RVs already have a propane system. Better even than that would be a Webasto or ITR hydronic, which solves the domestic hot water issue as well. Wallas even makes a diesel stove, you can get rid of the propane altogether.
