Don't see it as a problem. See it as a benefit....

You put your shoes and pants down there. That way, if you have to get
up in the middle of the night, they are nice and toasty.

If the top is down, the heat will still get around the end of the bed
and warm up the interior. My thermostat is near to the middle of the
lower bed, so the propex will keep putting heat out until that area
is warm.

However, my main use of the propex is to take the chill off, it isn't
to heat up the interior to summer temperatures. If the interior of
the camper is mid 50's. That's good sleeping weather (with my down
comforter). And my shoes and jeans will be toasty in the morning.
