thats not practicle a 1500 watt space heater will drain a battry pretty
quick thats 12.5 amp ac but 125 amps as 12 volt dc from the battery so a 250
amp hr deep cycle golf cart battery will be stone cold dead in less than 2
hours. A propane heater with maybe a 12 volt dc blower would be a better
solution.

I forgot to mention that electricity is not available to me at these
markets. I have thought about an electric heater attached to a
converter and a battery. Any experience out there with this type of setup?

a radiative heat source, like a big electric quartz-type heater. The propane
heater will heat the air, which will fly away. A radiator will beam its heat
to you. Also, again without being able to recommend any models, I'd think
about a heated pad to stand on. Our heads can take quite a bit of cold
weather if our feet stay warm.
