Help! Need thoughts on heaters/furnace

I need some thoughts on whether to replace my old Suburban NT-22 furnace with a newer forced air model or to get rid of it and go with a catalytic for my 68 Trade Wind. The old furnace has several issues and I dont' want to spend a lot trying to make it work. I have to make up my mind soon as I am ready to reinstall my rear floor. The floor vent was rusted and I'll have to get a register box made if I keep the forced air. If not I'll not cut the hole for the register. Here in Mississippi we don't camp in really cold weather, but do have chilly mornings in the early spring. At campsites with power I was thinking of using small electrics to keep us warm and/or the catalytic. Anyway, pros and cons will be greatly appreciated. Especially info how even the heat from the catalytic would be and suggested BTU rating for a Trade Wind. I'm afraid that it would be hot close by the heater and freezing back in the bath. Finally, which model Suburban would be the the best choice if I do replace the old one?
