Heating the caravan every now and again serves no useful purpose and is only a waste of energy.

I have a fan heater set on the frost setting, which is also on a timer for cheap night rate. Having tried with and without over the winter I find that a little heat does keep it that bit better, whether its worth the cost is up to the indivual.
