You will need a generator or a propane powered heat source.
Attempting to run an electric heater via an inverter maybe techically possible but in reality it is not feasible.
You simply need too many amps to be successful.
Consider a Lil' Buddy Heater or a Wave type heater. Beware a propane powered heater come with CO issues to beware of. Good Luck.
