I appreciate the input about the small AC's - Now what about the portable propane heaters? In my use, I would not run one while sleeping, but think it would be handy to take off the chill at times.

I think a 9000 would roast you out of there. I have and use a 800 BTU (yep thats right an 800) Coleman survival heater that I just sit in the rear cabnet. I think its just right.
I too only use it to take the chill off in the morning and before I go to bed. Hope this helps.
Happy Trails

In my opinion.............and it's based on sleeping in a converted van in the winter..........any type heater, propane, electric, etc. will do well with preparing your teardrop for sleeping. Just put it inside for long enough to heat the interior and take it out and vent the cabin before sleeping. As you've mentioned, never use a propane heater WHILE sleeping inside your trailer. There are trailer heaters which isolate the flame from the cabin which can be purchased and installed, but as small as a teardrop cabin is, I'd imagine the insulation in the walls and ceiling and a good comforter and sleeping partner would be about all you'll need.
