Assuming your 'home has the 50A (240/120v) cord and plug setup, I'd look at installing one or two "kickspace heaters" that operate on 240 volts and hard wire them to the circuit breaker panel.

They are made to install under kitchen/bathroom cabinets so all you see after installation is the grille.
Advantages are no freestanding unit to trip over, hard wiring eliminates worry about the adequacy of existing circuits/recepts, quieter than a lot of portables and a nice clean installation. 240 volt operation allows for higher wattage outputs as well.
Many 50A RV panels aren't set up to permit 240V branch circuits. They have a dual breaker for the main, and then two bus bars for the two legs go off in opposite directions.
