Similar situation for me where I park, which is probably in a much more mild climate than where you are. There's a 120V outlet about 75' from my spaces. Downside is it's across the main entry, so my drop cord would be run over by every truck coming and going. I use the inverter on the truck or bring the suitcase generator when I need AC power for something.
If it were me, I already have an old LP fired torpedo heater I got at an auction for nearly nothing. My suitcase gen, a drop cord, and a 20lb BBQ tank or two would fit easily in my pickup right next to that heater and other tools.
Speaking of BBQ tanks, those Mr Heater radiant tank mounted jobs throw off some decent heat too. Would make for even more portable solution for something to take the edge off the cold, or quick warm up break. They're cheap too.
It doesn't get that cold here, so running the bunk heater in my truck or running the heater in my pickup serves for an adequate warm up if I can't just postpone the work or hire it out to a shop.

I have only used it in the garage at home at this point, but I believe it’s worth every cent! We will see how it does outside at the rig later.

I will give it an A for effort. For a portable unit that is easy to use it was worth $150 to me. Really not cold yet, but it definitely puts off direct heat.
