That is how I handle heating come winter. I have the RV furnace, but it eats up battery like no tomorrow, so I bring along an electric heater and a Big Buddy heater, as well as blankets.
My ideal for a RV electrical system would be a second alternator to feed the batteries. That way, regardless if I had the generator on, the engine started, both, or neither (for small loads from the battery), everything functions the same.
Of course, the roof goes without saying. My ideal would be a one piece aluminum roof, crimped at the sides, crowned, and then covered with an epoxy elastomer coating once all the stuff (vents, A/C, etc) is installed. That will pretty much ensure water is kept at bay, barring physical damage.
