I've never had the courage to try it, but many of our members say it works safely and well. Look for Big Buddy catalytic heater.

Oil space heaters use electricity to heat the oil that circulates in the radiator. There is no combustion involved. They are great because there's also no glowing element exposed to create other fire hazards. Also PEX plumbing does a great job surviving freezing temps especially because most of it is inside the trailer.
