My hell hole (that is what I call the basement storage area, after the old C-54s) is heated by the ducted furnace, the water pump is there.

Ever looked at 100 watt heat lamps? I've put them in half gallon cans and used them to heat the basement before we left in late winter. Cheap to use, last forever and quite effective. I even used to keep one against the block of my Allis-Chalmers WD to make for easy starting when it was 30 below zero.

Dont have to pump the pink stuff in as long as I have heat on in the rv.
But have to watch auxiliary electric heating, cant override the furnace because the hell hole wont get heat.

They sell electric heaters that kick on at 33 degrees. One of those inside the RV and a couple of heat lamps in the basement should solve your problem. Could have cheap timers on the heat lamps.
