Oil filled portable electric heater in RV/camper?

Is anyone here winter camping and using an electric heater when parked with electric hookup for taking the edge off the cold overnight? I am mainly worried about safety - I am sure it will do the job in terms of heat output. An oil filled heater looks to be the safest option - no open element, and surface temperatures under 200F, less than all common materials' combustion temperatures.

I wonder if either of these is a good pick - compact and could be put up on the kitchen counter of my popup camper, away from bedding / upholstery? It is low power and should not stress the electrical system (I think it is a 20 or 30 A circuit, I need to check).

Thanks!
