Frost?

It is springtime and we had the rv out last weekend. Now we are having several nights of frost, temps maybe 28° to 34° F for a few hours in the early morning. Last night being concerned i turned on the furnace and set it for 45° for the night. However that meant 2 25 mile trips to turn it on in the evening and then back off in the morning. Being totaly enclosed and it is not that cold for that long I'm hoping this is over kill and not really necessary. Opinions??

I wonder if you could just install a setback thermostat.

Your camper is not going to freeze at 28 degrees for a few hours, probally for a day at 28. Dont worry.
