We use a Big Buddy heater when it's cool/cold and when we're not plugged in to power. Love it. Some folks on here really push the alarm button when someone mentions a portable gas heater. But propane heaters are safe, efficient, and they do a great job of keeping the RV warm.
We've had ours for several years, we've used it dozens and dozens of times. No issues, not one. Just follow the directions for safe operation.

Then I switch to the furnace while we sleep and keep the thermostat low so as not to run the battery down too much.
