Darrel-- You might also think about putting a small electric heater that is thermostatically controlled under you unit if you use the rigid foam around the bottom of your unit and the ground. Keep it away from anything that might catch fire but this would also give you some extra heat in the belly area to keep the water pipes from freezing. You don't say where you are but I'm assuming it is someplace in California that gets cold. There have been some other good suggestions from others that have replied and combining all responses will keep you warm.
Always keep your furnace at a low temp because that will also help to keep the pipes from freezing too. We keep a couple ceramic heaters going if it gets really cold but the fireplace we have in our Monte takes the chill off in the morning and the evening until we go to bed. We don't leave it going all night.
Any propane heater will add humidity to your unit will definitely build up moisture and a good way to start mold in the interior. Always use the exhaust fans when showering and cooking to draw moisture out also.
