Thanks y'all, My wife surprised me Wednesday by saying she wanted to go to the lease and with me working from "home", I jumped at the opportunity. We had 2 small heaters going but would fire up the Buddy heater to jump start the warmth. It was better after we added a bit of window insulation. She forgot her heated blanket but didn't complain like last time. I guess the key for now is heat with the propane Buddy to get it to temp then let the others maintain.
I'll check out the links y'all provided, maybe that will make it more comfortable. The trailer is a 31' Avion Imperial built in 1971. We've been remodeling the inside this year and this has been the most challenging part of making it comfortable.

Positive thinking may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Oil filled heaters work well in enclosed spaces IF you have the time to let them run and preheat the space. If you're looking for instant heat, thats not the way to go.

The oil filled radiator type worked well in my old 30ft. No worries about starting a fire when tyour not in the trailer either Works well in our 35' bumper pull.
