All electric blankets I've used for around 60 years have been way lighter and less constrictive than any other warm covering other than just a basic sheet!

Didn't try electric blankets, it can't be too heavy, but the feel, stiffness, softness etc could make a difference.

Goose down blankets are very forgiving, keeping warmth and humidity around the body just right, in a wide range of ambient temps. I only wish they were not that expensive and cleaning/washing was a little easier. And if most of them were not made in China so poorly, with down seeping through the seams or right through the fabric.

My favorite method - as long as it's above freezing - is preheating the room before bedtime, and then shutting the heater off. Don't want it to get too warm in the night. It's easy to pull the blanket over your head if it's cold, but can't do anything if it gets too warm. I mostly camp above freezing though.

I'm doing the same at home, setting heating to low before going to bed, and keeping an extra blanket nearby in case if I need it. Don't know why this makes expensive RV "a tent". They are actually cheap, i.e. cheaply made, it's just that they are sold several times above reasonable.

Not hearing both furnace and generator? Probably not very common. If you mount on-board generator in such a way that all the sound goes outside, vibration still remains. Furnace can't be silent either.
