Hi Taking,
Replace the return air grill on the furnace with a fan. On my rv that circulates warm "living space" air under the cabinets and pushes some air along the furnace duct work.

I've been toying with the idea of installing an electric RV Furnace Enhancer from RVComfortSystems.com. It's pretty pricy but it would throw some heat into the basement and would be safer and more efficient.
