Any forced air heater uses electric.

The parking heaters are very efficient, but if on 24hrs it adds up, call it 1 AH per hour.
 
^^^^^ Thanks. That's a bit more than I thought it would be.
 
one thing I am glad of, no matter how cold it is I don't like sleeping with a heater on. no matter what type of heater. I never sleep good with artificial heat. highdesertranger

and so you have a better chance of waking in the morning than hose who run a heater while they sleep!
 
It depends on the heater... If one buys a vented heater (exhaust vented outside) it can be ran 24/7 with no fumes into the indoors.

My RV heater is vented outdoors... no worries.
 
Those use a **lot** more electric.

Inefficient on fuel as well. Propex are pretty good, though with propane have to carry much more weight per btu output.
