You might want to locate and buy one or more of these 120V 155 watt "personal heaters" that can keep one person per heater toasty if it's close to them and aimed right at them.
It has 3 settings - one fan-only setting for cooling and low and high heat settings. It consumes about 155 watts on it's high heat setting. We use a couple of them at home to warm us when sitting so we don't need to have the house furnace set so high. On RV trips I take both of them along for emergency heat boosting in specific areas of the coach when on hookups.
I have run one all night off a 300 watt pure sine wave inverter - fed by one Group 31 12V AGM battery - to heat the interior of my truck when sleeping in it overnight at a remote campsite. The two I have are several years old and have been super reliable.
