We use an electric heater that oscillates. It has a temperature control so we set it at a higher temperature than the trailer heater, but use the low element setting. This way the electric heater runs pretty steadily all night but if the temperature drops the trailer heater comes on, usually for a short while, and brings the temp back up. We also use an electric blanket on our bed. (We have a 2720SL.) We turn on the blanket before we go to bed so that it is warm and toasty when we get in. (Another trick is to lay your PJ's on the bed so they will be warm when you put them on.) After we are under the covers we can usually turn the blanket off.
The elecric heater is in the living area and we aim it toward the bed area but leave the bathroom door open so that it performs the dual function of blocking some of the heat from the bed and warming the bathroom.
