I also forgot about wood burners. They give off loads of heat, and you can boil the kettle with them. You need to be careful to not burn yourself though.
Here are some examples:

Hi Lizzy
Heaters are always a problem in campervans. Gas is obviously the easy options. You can get a small heater that screws onto the top of a gas bottle. Cheap and easy, but you have to have a window open whilst using because of the carbon monoxide given off.
Other options include external diesel heaters that bolt to the chassis, and pump warm air in. They are difficult to fit and cost a bit to run.

Paint them with black paint, on the inside.
You can scrape the paint off in the future to return the windows to normal.
Emulsion is cheap and easy to paint on and get off.
Kitchen/bathroom based paints are harder wearing, but harder to get off.
