you are pissing into the wind by trying to make a camper as toasty warm
as your bathroom.

Actually its no beg feat.
I've seen World War II tank heaters that were just a fractional horse
power Clinton engine with a heavy cast iron cylinder on it, a squirrel
cage blower was monuted on the engine shaft and the blower drew fresh
cool air across the hot cylinder and blew it into the tank. It was
mounted outside and could be regulated just like you regulate your lawn
mower engine. Indeed nothing more or less than a heat pump.
