We use an electric ceramic heater during the day when were are in the trailer but propane at night. Also an electric blanket for the bed is a must. I ususally get up first and the temps are in the 60's because we set the furnace at 62 for night. The furnace rapidly heats up the trailer in the morning. In addition I installed a vent cover in the bedroom that I can control the air flow otherwise most of the furnace heat goes in the bedroom. But--we have not been in consistently cold temps like you are describing. Some years in South Texas, it does not freeze--we have thin skin!
