Moisture: Anything that burns hydrocarbons -- propane, gasoline, diesel, "natural gas" -- or cellulose, e.g., wood, produces water, "moisture", as a product of combustion. The hydrogen of the hydrocarbon or cellulose combines with oxygen of the air to produce water.

In a FWC situation I might be inclinded to look into one of the platcat units which is a vented catalytic heater and the fan pulls under .5amps supposedly.
I personally am leery on non-vented catalytic units, esp. since I've got a family in the mix too. With my build I've got a ton more insulation so I went with the atwood 8012 which supposedly only pulls 1.8amps, ideally the combo of lower amps and better insulation will limit battery drain quite a bit. But I also have 2 batteries for a combined 210ah so realistically I should be well covered.
A propex HS2000 forced air unit is supposed to pull 1.4amps but costs the most of all I think.

There is the non-vented catalytic heater you could use with everyone's favorite being the Wave series.
x2 on the Wave. Great heater with no battery draw.
