Hi jcthorne,
Is the generator a portable one which you are using with an adapter to power a 50 amp rv?
Each leg of the fifty amp service is 120 volts. You have two legs. Some high end coaches do take advantage of the possibility of using 240 for such items as clothes driers or electric stoves. Thanks for telling us that that is how the "cheap heat" is wired.
Ask the company for directions on how to add switching/wiring to run part (1/2) of the heat module on 120 volts, if your generator is capable of doing say 30 amps @ 120 volts. Otherwise, you are hooped.
Where I live it is cheaper to use propane unless the electrical power is included in the site rental. It is much more inconvenient to do so. One day I used over 100 kwh of power.
