You're mistaken about that .. see below.

Factory or  conversion, the common method of providing heat is a 
forced-air propane furnace, run on the 12V battery.  Other than the size 
and battery power, it's the same basic design as the furnaces in many 
houses.  The propane burns using air from outside and the exhaust is 
vented outside, and a heat exchanger heats the inside air.  No fumes or 
carbon monoxide get into the trailer at all.

You don't need finished living quarters to install one of these into a 
trailer's tackroom, although obviously it wouldn't do much good in an 
open stock trailer.
