I won't use a propane heater with the combustion chamber INSIDE the RV (eg a portable propane heater). However, the propane furnace built in has its combustion chamber outside, so I consider it totally safe to use at any time.
as long as you have a working CO detector in the case of a malfunction allowing combustion air into the trailer.
We've camped for some motorcycle rides with lots of folks running generators during the day. With a breeze coming your way, it's suprising how far away a generator can be and still have enough CO in the exhaust to trigger the CO detector in the trailer.

It's the alarm clock and pre heater so it's warm when I get up around 7 put on my robe, start the coffee.
