Space is not really an issue either as you COULD tow a trailer with enough batts/solar OR buy a rig that allows enough batts/solar OR make something that allows enough batts/solar (like that stacked solar panel idea you had or that guy with the toy hauler that built a battery rack under his rig).
The lowest draw I've observed in the last week is 1800 watts. It has been as high as 5000. I know my case is special--but there is no possible way I could have enough panels installed on the rv to support the heating needs.
