    To get heat up quick I turn the burners on the oven on plus a little electric heater in the bedroom. Once heat gets up I turn 2 of the burners off and leave one on low and leave the little heater on cycle in bedroom. I have a 27' travel trailer.

      Same here, but 31' and have to run them on low or they'll trip a breaker when the coffee pot comes on in the am .

      I set the central heater thermostat to come on at 63 or so incase the two little heaters need some help.

        I use an electric heater under the return air and run the circulation fan on all night.

          That's a good way not to wake up.

            Exactly what i did. Leave the oil heater plugged in 24/7 because they take a while to heat up. Put a small fan behind the oil heater to disperse the air.

                I use a little ceramic heater in the bathroom and electric mattress cover on the bed. if it gets real cold i'll run the furnace just enough to knock the chill down.

                  Parabolic dish heater from Costco. Low energy consumption. Never tripped a breaker in my 31' RV. Mice used the furnace for their nesting area. Fire waiting to happen. Several hunters in Foard County died in an RV fire a few years ago from mice nesting in their furnace.

                      I've always used a couple of the $15 electric heaters from Walmart. Never a problem and keep my 30' travel very warm.

                          You beat me to it. In Pittsburgh (PA) every winter there are stories of folks not waking up because the burner, or oven, went out and filled the house with gas. That's a bad idea.

                            One of my best friend lost his daughter her boyfriend and his dad last year by doing something like this. They all never woke up again, it happened around the Mason area. I use my furnace but I make sure my monitor is working.

                                How do those work? I know you can feel the heat a good ways away from it when you walk by in the store.
