Hi Bob,
I can usually find two 15 amp circuits at more modern homes. I do carry a LOT of cord however. I, too, often do not have access to the breaker panel.
I do carry a "current tap" and use that to draw some power from the door lights that most homes have. I limit it to 800 watts, and consider it a "last resort".
I use an efergy watt meter to monitor how much I am drawing--and a kill-a-watt to see what is happening to the voltage.
If you did heat 100% electrically you would have to replace the return air grill on the furnace with a fan, or it will freeze up.
On my rv that circulates warm "living space" air under the cabinets and pushes some air along the furnace duct work. I chose to use a dual window fan unit which is controlled by a mechanical thermostat that lives beside the water pump next to the outside wall of the RV.
The fan unit draws just 23 watts and works better than a 1500 watt fan based heater which I tried using inside the cabinet.
