I don't recall the OP mentioning if hookups were available or if he would be dry camping. No hookups means no electric heaters.

Also, running electric heaters will use a lot of electricity. I have heard, but have never seen, that some RV parks have metered electric. This may be more for the full-timers and is a bigger issue in the summer when everyone is running their a/c.

We have done fine with the gas furnace. I set it overnight at the lowest setting, about 55F. It is noisy, but once we fall asleep it does not wake us.

Running dual 1500 watt heaters will probably require dual power service. I plug one into a TM outlet which is using the 30 amp plug and I run the other with a heavy extension cord plugged in to the 20 amp circuit on the power pedestal. I just run the cord up through the seals between the front upper shell and the lower shell.

I keep the bathroom door open to allow heat into that room.
