Ceramic heaters certainly help.  I have to admit that the few times I've used them I was less than impressed, but then again, I admit I only let one run for an hour or so before turning it off.
 
NO, leaving the vent open does not mean the furnace will run continously.   But that being said I can't imagine running it at 74 degrees either.  You can tell I'm from a cold weather state as I run mine at about 68 degrees daytime, colder at night (thought that's what warm blankets/comforters/quilts were for).  Actually, having ventilation will help the furnace to run more efficiently.

My husband's from the south so he's a heat lover, day and night.  He likes it warmer than I do. As for myself, I don't need much heat at night but do like to be comfortable during the day.

In Greenhouses the bubbles face the glass. Just the opposite.  The theory is the air gets trapped not just in the bubbles, but between the flat layer and glass itself as well giving an insulated layer of trapped air.  Either way may work.  Smile 

One vent has a fan. We needed those vent covers called MaxxAir and picked them up at CampingWorld.  He installed them yesterday.  Believe me when I tell you there is no room for even a small dehumidifier in a 19' Zinger unless I get rid of those plastic dresser-like things I need for storage of clothing etc.  There are disadvantages to these small new TTs as well as advantages.
