Sorry for reviving.
Basically, for safety reasons, a portable space heater (cube heater or otherwise) should only be used for supplemental heating and not for continuous use and should not be left unattended, even when sleeping. This is what safety officials in various gov. and other orgs. state.

There are some wall fan heaters (like
Suburban) that can be used and also a kickspace heater. Wiring can be run through ceiling spaces, in interior walls and through cabinetry if needed in most cases.
But choosing between portable heater and fireplace - If there is a suitable location and the required safety clearances, I'd go with the fireplace. We have both, fireplace
PuraFlame and a basic Costco heater, since a portable unit can be pulled out and plugged in as needed and put in an outside storage space when it is not needed. It can be smaller and take less space and we like that we can heat up only a part of the camper.
