There is just something about a fireplace still running while I'm not in attendance that scares the bajebees out of me. We prefer to use ceramic oscillating heaters. We have traveled in the early winter and have found they are very efficient, even too efficient, having to turn them down.
Now that I have given you my take on the safety issue here is my take on the costs. If you are staying at a RV park short term (not a full time resident) it is likely you will be paying for your spot that will include your water/waste/electric. So with that in mind why would you want to pay for extra LP cost to run your on board heater. You will need the LP Gas for hot water. Instant hot water heaters are absolutely awesome by the way.
So in conclusion there is my take. On a side note if you're boondocking run run your generator, (hopefully you have one) you will need to in for basic luxeries any way. Tons of scenarios that can be debated, but we hope this was helpful.

Before I installed an electric heat unit, I had been using several plug -n electric space heaters but there were not enough circuits to handle more than 3. I solved that problem by installing a dedicated circuit with dedicated plugs on the interior wall and plugged 2 heaters into that circuit. And could plug the other two heaters into the rv plugs. In the basement, I installed a twist lock receptacle that a heavy extension cord plugs into and that cord then plugged into the power pedestal's 30 amp receptacle. I could easily run at least two heaters on high or four if not on high.
