Question--given that it's lived in--can they use an oil filled radiator instead of propane without risking the underneath? the camper has hard plumbed PVC from it to the on site septic...and on demand water from a household hose going through the city connections. These are used daily--which I believe should lesson any chance of freezing.
Thoughts?

First no using any "stand alone" heat source will not protect the pipes underneath. It's o.k. for supplemental heat only.
Secondly a garden hose will freeze outside, you need a heated water supply hose and it should be feed by a "frost proof hose bib".
Third, the best solution since the camper will be stationary for several months I assume would be to contact a local propane company and have a 100 gal tank set and contract regular filling.
You list your location as "Darling Maryland" I'm guessing you meant Darlington. If so there is a Southern States close by that a lot of folks in the area use.
