If you have one already they would work fine in an RV if you have the space for it. To buy one that is another matter most that I have seen run more then a couple hundred dollars and therefore, for the money other electric heaters in the $50 and under price will perform better. I have a small 1200 watt space heater I use in my camper I got for $5. in a yard sale. When I run the generator or I am at a full hookup site I will use it otherwise I run my propane heater the camper came with.
Good luck to you, I just had my pay and benefits cut.
I would suggest a small space heater you can find them in walmart and work very well I use one my self some have a thermostat so they turn off and on to control the temperature. Good luck.
The amount of electricity you will use will be a lot, keep the propane, it is more efficient and cheaper,!
Electric "portable fireplaces" are basically an electric heater with a fancy decoration.
IF your propane heater is a ducted type, (found on larger motor homes,) the electric heater will NOT be as efficient at heating the entire home, but will work well in a "limited" area, in part depending on how well the home is insulated.
I assume you are NOT running a generator to supply power. If you are using a generator, then the propane heater is cheaper to run as well as more efficient "overall".
