Boatycall,
How would you keep your basement warm if you didn't run the furnace?
On an Arctic Fox, the basement isn't heated by a direct furnace vent. Air is circulated by a generic box fan in the vent by the slide out switch under the bathroom, and a return vent in the step by the water tank. Furnace kicks on, 12v gets sent to the box fan. The fan runs as long as the furnace is on.
You can add a simple SPDT (single pole double throw) switch to the box fan. Wire the "auto" mode from the furnace on one side, 12v constant on the other. Leaving the fan on would be fine, since the whole premise of this thread is how to heat the TC when you're plugged in. It only draws 1/8 of an amp, or 125mA.
